Hi Just a FYI for those wanting to use emoticons, the IMG keyboard on the iDevices also has a "recently used" selection, so a person has quick access to frequently used emoticons. This makes things a lot easier than having to swipe through many pages and different categories to find a fav and frequently used emoticon.
I set up my list by composing a message to myself with just the emoticons that I would most likely use. Now when composing a message my emoticons are readily available.
