This is an add-on to the Textra SMS application that utilizes the Twitter styled emojis in preference to the phones system emoji style. Simply gorgeous!
Supports all the (Unicode 8) latest 1600+ emojis including diversity (skin tone) for Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop & Marshmallow Android versions.
You access the Twitter emoji using the + icon to the left of the message field in the conversation. Long hold on a 'human skin emoji' (for example a hand gesture) to see diversity (skin tone color) options.
IMPORTANT: The Twitter emoji are only available in Textra and not system wide (e.g. keyboard app).
