The message is a character from the Indian language Telugu, when it is sent to Apple devices on iMessages it will cause the device to crash. It looks like once this has happened the messaging app will no longer open the messaging app.
The way to fix this is get one of your friends to send you another message and then open the app. Once it is open you will then need to delete the message with the character in it.
