How to unlock secret iPhone emoticon keyboard
While emojis (cartoon pictures) seem to get the most attention these days, emoticons (symbols) are still popular with many users. If you have an iPhone, you can unlock a secret keyboard that saves you from typing out your favourite emoticon. The keyboard features 100 emoticons.
Here's how you do it:
1. Open Settings
2. Tap on General and then Keyboards.
3. In the Keyboards options, tap on Keyboards (it sounds confusing but that's the process).
4. Tap Add New Keyboard and then scroll down to Japanese.
5. Choose Kana.
6. You can now access the keyboard when you are writing anything on your iPhone. To do this, tap the globe icon (next to 123) on your keyboard and then tap the kana characters.
7. The last step to choose this key ^-^ which will show all the emoticons.
