Q: What is "sticky" mode?
A: Sticky mode makes possible to insert several symbols in one FancyChar call. It basically does not close screen after user clicks the symbol, keeps it open. To close screen use "back" button.
Hint: There are two ways to use sticky mode: enable in options tab and/or hold SHIFT key on the keyboard.

Q: Why I don't see colored Smiles and Flags?
A: Those colored smiles works exclusively in BlackBerry® Messenger 5.0.0.57 so make sure you update your BlackBerry Messenger first from AppWorld or http://www.blackberry.com/messenger. You cannot insert colored smiles to any other app except BlackBerry® Messenger!

Q: It does not work in BBM Group chat. Why?
A: Group screen is somehow protected by RIM so that app cannot hook into it. But eventually it now works in group chat on some latest OS builds. So you need to wait for OS update for your specific device to make it working.

Q: Can you add more colored icons for BBM?
A: No. This is not possible so far. All current icons are hardcoded in BBM itself and olny they are supported.

Q: It inserts ? instead of characters to the SMS
A: Go to options-sms and change encoding from 7bit to SC2. Unless you’re on CDMA version. CDMA SMS is very limited and unfortunately does not support Unicode, although email/pin and others will work.

Q: How can I have more symbols ?
A: You have to install East Asian Language and Input Support in BlackBerry® Desktop Manager (KB17208). Those Asian fonts have all Unicode characters required. This applies to 5.0 OS mostly. Older devices may lack some symbols.
