Your messaging app such as iMessage, Slack, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, and Outlook for iOS running on ipads, Macs, Iphones and even apple watch are susceptible to it.
This single character spotted by Italian Blog Mobile World can be exploited by anyone by just sending a single character from Telugu, a native Indian language, and upon opening the message the receivers apple device(s) crashes.
The easy fix is to delete the conversation that contains this character.
