DON’T DO THIS there is an app in the app store for only .99 . It’s called typing genious, when you download it it automaticly makes I an option under Japanese keyboard. (YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE IN JAPAN I LIVE IN PA PENSYLVANIA)

I took the plunge and installed Frostyplace for my 2G iPod touch (where no jailbreak is possible at this moment) and it worked.

I prefer this method instead of the vCard solution as it lets you choose individual emoji icons.

Yeah just install erika’s utilities and run plutil like this

plutil -v True -s KeyboardEmojiEverywhere /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preferences.plist

Then enable emoji. done

You lucky POS I missed out on Netshare when it was available here in the US. I’m stuck without tethering

I thought jailbreaking was required for that! I didn’t notice that you could edit an iTunes backup file.

Anyway, I have an original iPhone in Brazil, so, it needs to be jailbroken, so I can unlock the baseband. Anyway, I use only a videorecording app, a tethering app and now that. I donn’t change my system that much!

One needs to get Emoji Icons enabled on one’s iPhone to view them.

@socialsweetie: they shows up as gibberish sometimes, the other person doesn’t need to have emoji, but they won’t show up in certain messages.

@Breno: not everyone wants to jailbreak

iSpazio released a patch in Cydia to easily enable Emoji icons. Head for Cydia, be sure to have iSpazio repositories, and look for “Emoji”. Install it (only 1.3kB), and you’re done.

Then go to Settings > General > Keyboard ? Japanese > Emoji Icons > On.

Now you can use these icons pretty much in any app, jut hit the globe button on the keyboard, and play with your emoji!
