You can emoji from the app store as well. Also, hate to bust your bubble but if the recipient of your text/mms does not have an emoji able phone then they will not see the emoji and USA phones are not emoji capable.

The exception is the iPhone. If you send Emoji from an iPhone with Emoji enabled, any other iPhone can see the characters even if Emoji is not enabled on the other iPhone.
 
Posting this again as the question has come up again.

I have a solution for this.

Emoji Mailer

Website explanation.
It is an app that converts the emoji to graphics to allow them to be sent to PC/Webmails and be seen correctly.

We also have added BBCode so you can use emoji in forums like this and they show up correctly and not as little boxes.

It is a paid app but it is really cheap. Just $1.99 :)
