+# Unicode Emojis for Pidgin
+
+The Telegram phone applications for iOS and Android make use of standardized Unicode smileys (called [Emojis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji)). Pidgin
+does not display those smileys natively, but you can install a custom smiley theme like [https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji] or [https://github.com/VxJasonxV/emoji-for-pidgin] and activate it under Settings > Themes > Smiley Theme.
