+# Unicode Emonjis for Pidgin
+
+This repository contains three sets of emojis:
+
+*  original Apple Color Emojis
+   as used in iOS
+*  original Android Emojis
+   extracted from Android OS
+*  Symbola Emojis
+   mostly the original Unicode.org draft pictograms
+
+These Smilies can easily be used in Pidgin by copying the folders to ~/.purple/smileys
+
+Please note that every smiley maps to his dedicated unicode character as specified by Unicode 6.0.
+This enables interoperability withs Android & iOS chats clients.
+Other chat partners might want to install either the Symbola or Android TrueType font the see the Emojis
