Some of the characters are pretty funny so even if you have no intention on using them they’re fun to browse through.</p> <ul> <li>From almost any Mac OS X Lion app, select the “Edit” menu and pull down to “Special Characters”, or hit Command+Option+T</li> <li>From the character choices, click on “Emoji” and then choose a set: People, Nature, Objects, Places, Symbols</li> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/emoji-selector-mac-os-x-lion.jpg" alt="Emoji Character Selector in Mac OS X Lion" title="emoji-selector-mac-os-x-lion" width="580" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20469" /></p> <li>Select the character you want to use and either drag and drop the Emoji character into a text field, or double-click on the icon in the “Font Variation” menu on the right</li> </ul> <p>You’ll notice that not all third-party applications will accept or recognize Emoji characters, but all of the OS X Lion compatible apps that come from Apple do and most apps updated for Lion should too. If the app doesn’t support Emoji display, nothing will be shown.
