This is a cool tip from Brian Tong from CNET. He shows you how to get Emoji icons on your iPhone. Emoji is the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in wireless messages. To unlock this feature you will need an iPhone with firmware version 2.2. When you unlock the Emoji feature, you will get more than just your standard smilies. You’ll see things like animals, food, and smiling stacks of poop.

Jason Chen over at Gizmodo also has a similar tip. Check it out here.
