Shapecatcher: Draw the Unicode character you want
These are Emoji: it's a set of smileys/icons originally used by Japanese carriers. Apple included them in their iPhone, and in order to standardise them they (successfully) requested they were added to Unicode.

The history of Emoji before they got standardized is interesting. BTW Google was a requestor too.
