Simple Unicode Keyboard For Mac
Typing on your smartphone is easy.

I've personally witnessed people stop what they're doing on a Mac and switch to the same app on their iPhone just so they can quickly type a 'face with tears of joy.'
Set keyboard shortcuts Sometimes you want to drop some emoji in the middle of an iMessage conversation, and even dialing up the emoji keyboard would take too long. Here's where the Mac's keyboard shortcuts can come in handy. You can easily make it so that when you type a specific phrase, it'll instantly swap it out for a specific emoji.

Use an app To some extent, Apple has emoji app makers with its built-in emoji keyboard, but there are still a few emoji apps for OS X, and some of them do an arguably better job.
Apps like and will provide quick access to symbols via the menu bar, and some even provide a visual clipboard for you to compose notes with multiple emoji, letting you easy copy and paste it when you're done. Searching for 'emoji' in the Mac App Store will call up several options, both paid and free. Have something to add to this story?
