Characters just like a or b or c. All the major platforms use Unicode and so once they catch up with Apple these emoji will be universally usable and usable in any App. Lets take the top left Emoji from your iPhone keyboard image, above. It is the Unicode character U+1F604 (Unicode codepoint) SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES (Unicode name). All the iOS 5 Emoji keyboard emoji are characters in the Unicode Character Set.

We got a bump from 2MB ADSL to 4MB fiber optic by signing our name onto a list at a little booth at the gate of our neighborhood. One day about a month later, I got a call from China Telecom about making an appointment to send a technician over. A few days more and we had a brand new modem and faster internet for the same price as before. So, either lower fees or more likely just better service for the same price.
