If I send an emoji from and android to an iphone, will they see it?

[AC Question]

I have a galaxy nexus with version 4.2.1. Im sent an emoji from an iphone and I copy and paste it and send it back. Will they receive the emoji on their iphone?

I doubt it. What you're seeing is usually (it depends on the app displaying it) a small picture. An emoji is a set of characters that the app uses to pick out the proper picture to display. they may get an MMS of the picture, but it probably won't be in the proper place in the text. (I'm guessing all this - I've never tried it. It would have taken you less time to try it than to have read this post.)
