At last I found that the Unicode-character-set has a "Private-use area" in which apps-developers can store special characters e.g. emoticons.
Apple has apparently posted some emoticons in that area that can be used on the iPad or iPhone without having to load a special character set.
That area starts at code HEX "E000" or decimal 57344.
There are also "Supplementary private use" area's of which the first starts at HEX "F0000" and require therefore at least an additional byte in the code.
I have changed the start-code in Dav's character-map to 57340 which gives the display as shown in the screenshot.
These emoticons can safely be used in SP-programs. Other emoticons might not be accessible by other users.

Those are neat emoji. I didn't know about then until recently and used them in a memory match game a few posts back. On my older iPad, the pictures are a little different looking, but still the same theme.
