I have no idea what rooted means haha and my bro whom has the same phone gets everyone else's emojis but can find what is wrong with mine I see their normal text just not the emoji part my phone I believe is a 4.4.2

Did you install any special keyboards such as swift or google

No I just tried a drifferent SMS app although like I have emojis that came on my phone and it reads them fine so what does the swift do exactly? Lol you probably think I'm really stupid :)

Haha well thank you I'm having my friend send me some emojis so let's hope the app works
 
Yes they will just try it out send the message if you Dont like make the system SMS app the defaults.
It won't let me send a message unless they have the app haha Oh well there just emojis it kind of sucks that I won't be able to see them when I get them but not a big deal I don't think I can try anything else :)
 
So when I was trying to use the swift key or things like that do you think it would have worked better with me using it with the original sms that came with my phone? Or does that not matter
 
this what they look like when I get them just so you could see it

Google removed the old text emoji support from the underlying system. Drives me nuts. I use Textra, it does a good job with a lot of them.
I tried that one as well and the messages still had the same problem I couldn't see them and the worst part is the moto x can't be rooted as I found out while googling how to fix this
