I fiddled with it a bit. So I did command-option-T to pull up special
characters. Sometimes I lost focus on this window which seems to not be
attached to any particular app, so the usual command-~ wouldn't take me
back. Instead I had to do VO-F2 twice to get the window chooser going.
Anyway, once I was there I was able to pick Emoji from the Character
Category table, then nature from the subcategory table and finally I
navigated to something called Wolf Face from the Characters Window grid.
From there all the tutorials said to use drag and drop but I found I
could do the contextual menu with VO-shift-M which brought up a menu
with one choice called Copy Character Info which I could then paste.
This inserted three lines. The first was the actual Wolf Face Emoji
followed by
WOLF FACE
Unicode: U+1F43A (U+D83D U+DC3A), UTF-8: F0 9F 90 BA
I couldn't figure out how to keep it from copying the extra junk but
those were easily deleted.
Ahh, I think I figured that part out as well. Apparently OSX can get
confused an not know where the character you pick is supposed to go. So
If I start flipping apps and such the special characters window becomes
orphaned. Instead, if I pull up a doc in textedit, get my insertion
point where I want, pop the special character window and find the one I
want in the grid, a VO-space to simulate a mouse click inserts it. You
then need to close the special character window before going back to
your app. If you don't, the next time you do command-option-T it won't
get connected to the current app. A bit flaky but it works. 😀
Also note that for most Windows users the Emoji stuff is just going to
show up as missing font characters.

They are right in the character viewer, but sometimes it is difficult
to insert them from there. Have you tried doing this?

Ahh, I wasn't familiar with the Japanese Emoji font. I'm assuming you
can just choose the Apple Emoji Font and type the Japanese characters
in whatever way you usually do that. You could also just find the
symbol on a page and copy/paste it. For example, you might poke
around here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#OS_X_Mountain_Lion
and find what you want. I'm just not all that familiar with how to
type the Japanese unicodes.

Which special characters? It may be that you can just type them
without using the character viewer.
