If you're one of those people that knows what U+F8FF means, or what Option+Shift+K does, then this post is for you. For those of you who aren't aware, U+F8FF is the Unicode address for the Apple logo (on Apple devices) that you see on a lot of Twitter profiles, etc.
PictoKeyboard is a new tweak that allows you to have a Unicode keyboard on your iDevice, making it easy to access your favorite symbols on the small screen...
Up until now, the only way to get Emoji icons on your iPhone or iPad was to employ some workaround that either required a jailbreak or an app from the App Store.
Workarounds are great, but native solutions are even better. iOS 5 has made this much easier since it is now letting you use an Emoji icon keyboard on a stock iDevice. No jailbreak and no download required...
Looking for a way to enhance your SMS experience, but apps and tweaks like biteSMS or SMSPlus fail to meet your needs? If so, perhaps it's time to go beyond SMS.
Indeed, BeyondSMS is a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone that integrates tightly with the stock SMS app, providing things like hidden message capability and live camera wallpaper. Take a look inside for a full video synopsis...
No more workarounds needed to enjoy Emoji icons on your iPhone with iOS 5. This feature is now completely integrated in Apple's latest OS and can be activated in just a few simple steps.
To activate Emoji in iOS 5, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Emoji. Once turned on, you can easily switch between your primary keyboard and the Emoji keyboard by hitting the "globe" icon on your keyboard...
Here comes another tweak! Although this tweak has been available for jailbroken iPhones for quite some time now, I seemed to stumble upon it earlier this week and found it pretty cool!
With this tweak you'll be able to use unicode symbols to spice up your social life. How does it work? Simply hold down the 1-5 number keys and you will have access to universally viewable symbols that can be added to your text messages, tweets, and more.
The best part is, unlike emoji which are only viewable on some devices, the unicode symbols in Vmoji will display correctly on any mobile device or computer. The tweak is also free of charge, so that's another thumbs up...
A few weeks ago we talked about how to add symbols on your iPhone. We also saw that it is now possible to add emoji icons to the keyboard. But do you know you can use these characters and emoji to name your iPhone folders?
To do so, simply edit the folders' name like you normally do and copy the character of your choice, or set your keyboard to Emoji to add funny little icons.
If having emoji icons on your iPhone keyboard is not enough, maybe you can follow this little trick that will easily allow you to add symbols to your text entries.
To do so, go to http://mrgan.com/gb/ from your iPhone and follow the onscreen instructions. It will add a bookmark to your homescreen from which you will then be able to copy/paste various symbols.
There are 48 symbols right now but more will probably be added in the future.
Emoji icons disappeared for a while with the release of iOS 4. But they're back! This simple trick, compliments of Simon, will show you how to enable Emoji icons on your iPhone iOS 4.
Step 1: Download this free app from the App Store.
Step 2: Launch the app and tap "ok, let's do this".
Step 3: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboard > Add New Keyboard > Emoji.
Step 4: Reboot your iPhone.
You can now get emoji icons on your iPhone. To bring up the emoji keyboard, launch your Notes.app and tap the little "globe" icon next to the space key.
If you send an email containing emoji icons, the person you send the email to must have emoji enabled too. For some reason, I wasn't able to use emoji icons in the Email.app. It worked great for notes though.
How is it working for you?
