Keep in mind if you edit your autotext to include these, it'll also apply to emails and texts, and not all (read: most) emails and texts will not resolve these to be icons when received.
work around to avoid autotext: add yourself as a BBM contact, copy and paste squares in field, and send to yourself. you'll be able to see the emoticons themselves, and from there you can just select and copy the specific one you want. conversation/emoticons will show up in history if you have that option selected too

Thanks for the idea! Now I can keep them all and copy and paste when I want.
Copied - Sent it via Email - pasted on BBM and worked great
Now I am clueless on how to copy a specific image and add it to Autotext
I am able to select a image, but then the blackberry options does not list "copy" again !
Make sure you rollover (scroll) a little bit which while holding ALT to select it. It looks highlighted at first, but it isn't, once you do that though the copy option will appear.
this is GREAT! I'm glad someone FINALLY found where the emoji was hiding! These characters have been in the BlackBerry OS since RIM went live in Japan! now if only we could find out how integrate them into the smily menu XD
Great suggestion about adding yourself as a contact.. It worked like a charm. Now I have to decide if I really want to scroll though this everytime I want to add an emoticon to my chats or spend hours making them auto-texts
