To be honest, this sounds like a Unicode bug in the Marshmallow email 
app you are using to send the emojis.

The email apps that display something like what you show above are 
attempting to display the broken Unicode that was sent, while Geary 
seems to be cleaning it out before it even gets that far.

I'd suggest testing using the same third party email app with known 
good Unicode support on both Android versions and see what happens.
