With the EmojiCompat library, part of the Support Library 26, your app can get backwards-compatible emoji support on devices with API level 19 and higher and get rid of the blank square characters. To use EmojiCompat, initialize the library when the application starts, by using downloadable or bundled fonts. Start supporting emojis in your text views, either by integrating the provided widgets or update your custom views by using the provided helper classes.
