#1. Get this $0.99 app called frostyplace from the iTunes store
#2. Play with the app for a minute to activate, click on a story, etc
#3. Go into you settings -> General > International > Keyboards > Japanese
#4. Click the Emoji option to on!
#5. Text anyone with an iPhone and they’ll get your icons!

Done this myself the other day, so cool, usually I hate smileys, but with a lack of firmware updates giving us new features lately, I'll take anything I can get

And some of the smileys you can send are awesome :p About 100 in total
 
Nope because the Emoji option only appears after you download this app and attempt to read one of the stories
 
Pretty nifty, the recipient will need 2.2 firmware or later I believe. For those with Jailbroken phones just install Emoji in Cydia then jump straight to #3 above.
 
Any chance of some screenshots to see what the emojicons look like before I tell the missus about this and she gets all excited?

Thanks :)
 
I heard this on the MacBreak Weekly podcast (netcasts you love from people you trust) and to be honest only other iPhone users see them and I txt a lot of non-iPhone people.

The bit on the podcast about one looking like steaming poo did make me lol!
 
Yeah the steaming poo is good, theres about 200 different icons to send in total and they're all really good quality, not just thing's thrown together

I think its fantastic especially as I know a few people with iPhones as well as being able to use them on Twinkle etc

Hmm, downloaded "frostyplace" from iTunes store, it was free (not $0.99) - read a couple of stories and there's no "Emoji" option on my keyboard settings :(

EDIT: Doesn't work with iPhone 2.2.1 - that's why :(

I think you only have to switch on the Japanense keyboard once to allow the "bug" to work it's magic. From then on you can text normally..

To further clarify on this if you've not used an international keyboard before: That small globe looking key at the bottom left of my screenshots appears when you have more than one keyboard enabled, tapping it cycles through your enabed keyboards.

I have English (UK) -> Emojicons -> hClipboard
