sqlcipher/android-database-sqlcipher#199 - apparently emoji are not supported for Android 5.0.1

STR:
1)Create notification with Emoji symbols on Android 5.0.1

Sorry for the late response. I was able to check this issue on the latest plugin version (1 FEB 2018) and Android 5.1.1. There is no exception, but emoji doesn't displayed correctly.

Data serialization was introduced in the latest update (with base64 encoding), so can you please check this issue again?

I also get this error on Samsung S5 OS 5.1.1

@shlapkoff Do you use the latest plugin version 2.2?

[shlapkoff]

I used custom solution for localize text assets in game. All text is stored in XML format.
I found this topic (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36988120). This problem is not related to this plugin.

Fix for me: I disabled Emoji when the Android LEVEL API < 23 (Android 6)

@shlapkoff thanks for reply! Yes, I suppose a developer should take care of escaping or removing special chars.
