On my Edge1040 I had, since a long time, the manual startup specific message including a few enoji (stars, bicycle, phone, email pictures)
I recently observed that my specific message was not displaying anymore during boot-up. But the number of seconds to be displayed(25) was considered.
I removed the emoji icons and the message is shown.
Was there any change on this? Is there someone here who had/has emoji icons in the startup file? If yes - does it work for you?
P>S> due to some back problems I have not used the device in the last months - so I cannot know after which beta/official release sw this stopped working.
