Help My samsung galaxy s5 sends weird, unreadable texts.

So far that I know of, this has happened to two people that I have texted. So right now, I just recently started talking to this guy and usually a couple times a day, the text I send him are unreadable to him. I won't know unless he tells me. The texts look like random numbers and greek symbols. And one time he would receive multiple texts that are the same. I thought this was because i would send too much over the character limit and my phone or his phone would have trouble sending/receiving sort of lengthy texts...but once in awhile a short text will be weird. It's just a little tedious but if i copy the text and resend it he can see it just fine. It's very weird and I hope to get to the bottom of it.

Another thing to mention, whenever he texts me, his texts are separated into sometimes 5 or more texts. It's not a bother honestly. They just come all at once, I assume it's the amount of characters in a text and his carrier just does that. But I don't receive any weird texts.
 
First, try going into your Settings -> Application Manager -> Swipe till the top says ALL -> Tap on Messaging App. Do a Force Stop, then Clear Data, then reboot your phone.

The other thing it could be is an issue with either your carrier or his.
