seen by the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be an emoji or a symbol that you&#8217;ve added to a post or a comment on your Facebook post or in a comment, but for the sake of certain reasons on the side of the viewer, your character cannot be seen as the actual thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore it is replaced with an OBJ () error to show that there is a character that should be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it may be your post or someone else&#8217;s posts that you do not see the symbol or image you&#8217;ve added, but all you see is the OBJ characters added to the texts you posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be worrying sometimes, especially when you want to make some sense of the images or symbols you&#8217;ve added to the posts.
