Hi. You can do both, either enter them manually with the punctuation/numbers keyboard, or by using the Emogy Keyboard. I forget at the moment how to add the Emoticon keyboard, but think you can find it if you go to Settings, General, Keyboard, International and add it from there. Once added, when the virtual keyboard is showing there will be an Emogy keyboard button to the right of the letters/numbers keyboard button. Double tap this to turn on the emoticon keyboard. Then, there will be a list of categories across the bottom of the keyboard with the symbols themselves in several rows above. There are many pages of symbols so be sure to use the page turning command, 3 finger swipe left/right to view all the available symbols. Also, you may wish to switch to standard typing in order to go through all symbols and not accidentally enter symbols you don't want. One more thing, if sending texts to people that don't have an I-device, make sure they can view emoticons on their devices. I've sent some to family members without iPhones, and they didn't see the included symbols. Remember to double tap the English U.S. keyboard when finished putting in the symbols you want, otherwise your emoticons will appear whenever the virtual keyboard is active.
