I have an epub and it looks fine in Calibre but on the kobo the special characters just show up as boxes.
I tried all the fonts that are included in the kobo but nothing works.

here is the source from the epub.

<p class="calibre2">[You have joined the group chat, do say hello to the other group members! 😉] A smiley face was even attached by the system.</p>

or

<p class="scenebreak">❄️❄️❄️</p>

Just boxes for those smiley or symbols on my kobo

I have also tried installing some extra fonts on my kobo, charis, literati and ember. Still boxes on kobo.
