Agnes,
The short answer is probably that it is not simple, but that anything is
possible. The emoji characters occupy areas of the encoding space that are
normally reserved/private areas, that the majority of software will not
display. In other words, even if you had a font that had the emojis in it,
in the proper area of the encoding, they would highly likely be ignored by
the software as illegal characters and not be displayed correctly. I have
tested this personally, and not found any software that correctly displayed
the characters. I think this must be the default behaviour of font-handling
libraries that developers use to take care of the grunt work of font
handling. There are, for web pages, software that sniffs these characters
and replaces them with characters that are in the legal area of the
encoding. You need a special font to go with the software. It would probably
be possible to use this software if you use web mail. It is called Keitai
Font or something and sold by Enfour. But for normal POP/IMAP mail clients,
I don't know of any easy alternative.
Best,
Nik
