Emoticons have become one of the most used features that are very common today. This is a feature that really enhances what you want to say and also helps to make the text really fun and easy. An emoticon is very different from an emoji, these are small images that are made from combining various kinds of characters which are placed together to form the picture or image. While we all are well versed with the regular emoticons, iPhones users have an extra advantage and can open the doors to new emotioncons.

iPhone users have a hidden emoticon in their keyboards which can be activated with the help of a very simple method. If you are trying to look out for the hidden emoticons, all you need to do is go to the Keyboard option that is available under the general settings. Once you go there, you can go ahead and select the Add New Keyboards option and look out for the Japanese option that is mentioned on the list. Once you find that you can select the option that states Kana.

After you have completed the necessary changes you can then exist the settings application and go back to your messages where the new keyboard will be available. With this option, you can switch between the two keyboards as and when you want. The Kana keyboard will be available to use and an icon will also reflect on the row that is on the bottom of the keyboard screen. If a person wants to use the new emotioncons, all they have to do is select the emoticon face and after that select the up arrow that is placed diagonally above it. Though the meaning of the icons are yet to be known, however those who have got to know about it found it to be real fun while they were using them.
