While most of the people enable Japanese emoji 
letters by modifying system files, here is a solution that lets you to use it without jailbreak or modifying any files. It uses the technique to import 27 address book contacts in iPhone, and recall it using the Japanese keyboard. Note this will make 27 new contacts to the iPhone. You may want to create a new group for that.
Step 1. Download the vcard.vcf here.
Step 2. Import it to your address book program. If you are using Windows, you may want to do it on iPhone directly. Send the vcard.vcf file to yourself. Open in on iPhone’s Email.app, click the vcf file and import all the contacts.
Step 3. Go into “Settings” > “General” > “Keyboard” > “Japanese Keyboard”. Enable the QWERTY keyboard.
Step 4. In notes or any other program you want. Type “emojia”, “emojii” or “emojiu” to select those icons.
Step 5. Happy Emoji!

How do I download the vcard?
I clicked on it but all it did was just take me to a page with lines and lines of text…
i emailed the link to my iphone, but when i tried opening the link in safari it said that it could not download …
how can i import it to my address book program in windows?
(will it overwrite my current iphone address book if i have contacts in my phone that i do not have in my address book on my computer?)
Alex,
You will need to right click and save link as.
It does not give the option to save link as. It has the save target as? But what program do you save it under. I have tried several different things but nothing will open it.
Dude, just save target as (same as save link as) and from the desktop, use your google or whatever email client to email it to whatever your iphone email is, and open that message and you can download it on your phone………
i must be missing something. i got through step 3 but nothing happens when i type emojia
nevermind I got it!
can only people with iphones see texts with emoji? Ive treid texting a friend that has a jailbroken iphone but she never recieves them. But she has a TMobile not At&t. Who can receive them?
Daisy,
people using iPhone with the latest firmware can receive the text/SMS with emoji. It doesn’t matter what carrier recipient using, or whether it’s jailbroken or not. They can all receive the SMS.
i must be missing something. i got through step 3 but nothing happens when i type emojia

Hi,
I must be missing something. i got through step 3 but nothing happens when i type emojia.

I change and I activated the Japanese Keyboards and nothings happends
Thanks a lot for your help!
Fer.
I got them in my contacts but i can’t activate the emoji palette, the japaneese palette comes up but not emoji
it does not seem to work bringing up the emoticons when typing emoi or emojii or emoja or emoju? maybe the frimware or what is it?
what i do is select the contact and copy the emoticon i want. that is so tedious.
