Emoji

Does Unity support emoji characters in any way? Either using TextMesh or the UI?

Hey there,

UnityEngine.UI does not support images inline with text (there is a super long and hacky way to do it involving UVs).
TextMesh does however. If you take a look at the Unity documentation for RichText you can see an example of how to make a quad and set a material.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StyledText.html

Here is a glimpse of a new feature (rich text tag) that I am adding to TextMesh Pro. This example is using Unity 4.6 and using the Canvas System.
