You can also design your own version of the emoji you want to use. [I'm
not a lawyer, but as far as I understand,] what's protected is the
individual design, not the idea of a "donut" or "frowning face" emoji as
such.

Those listed in the column titled "Native" come from the operating system
(in your case, Mac OS X) and/or browser you are viewing that page on. One
can assume that the right to those belong to the entity who develops those
software.
A safer approach for you would be to use symbols from Emoji One[1]; if you
can attribute that project on your products, you can use them for free; if
you can not do that, they require that you contact them for a custom paid
license [2].
Also, with the paid license you are helping a project publishing content
under Creative Common license.

Hello,
I work for a small company in Turkey. We would like to import/sell
products that have pictures of Emoji on them (such as keychains, cups etc.)
, here in Turkey. The Emoji we would like to use on our products are the
ones that are titled Native on the chart that I've attached to this email.
I would like to know whether or not it's required to buy the rights these
Emoji. Are Emoji copyrighted, or can they be used by anyone for design
purposes?
Thanks so much in advance!
