OMG I'm in love with the Emoji keyboard

[anon(5335877)]

Emoji support was ALWAYS available in iOS (formerly known as iPhone OS). View of Emojis was possible all over the world, while the input keyboard was activated in Japan only. But there were several apps in the store to activate the keyboard in non-japanese countries. I think it is pretty strange that there are people in this forum who didn't know this. Anyway, in iOS 5 it is no longer necessary to use these apps.

The reason for the mentioned problems is probably that certain carriers do not support the full range of UTF-8 in SMS. I don't think, Apple changed the codes for the used Emojis in iOS 5.

Well in the link I provided, people are complaining that when they send Emojis from an iOS 5 device to a device running iOS 4 it doesn't work properly, but before they had upgraded to iOS 5, it was working perfectly fine.

I also paid for the app, before the iOS 5 update. Good thing it was only $0.99; I just deleted it.
