The Problem

By default, Android emulators are not able to accept Unicode characters. This means that foreign languages, extended characters, and Emoji are all unsupported by default.

The Solution

Thankfully, you can turn Unicode support back on! For Appium tests, simply set the unicodeKeyboard desired capability to true.

unicodeKeyboard: true
