Does anyone know if you are allowed to use an image which is similar to an emoji but not exactly the same in print packaging?

Just design it yourself

Emoji's are defined in Unicode, e.g., unicode U+1F923 = a rolling on the floor laughing emoji, you're free to design your own emoji using that description and use it wherever you want I guess but if you try and use Apple's drawing of it they're not going to be best pleased as I imagine they wouldn't license it to you without paying a fortune. http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

Every day's a school day, I genuinely thought that the big dawgs would've found a way to copyright them!

They can but I think they just choose to release them for free.. I guess it's good for them if people see familiar looking emoji's over the web and subtly think of twitter or whatever.

Makes sense I guess, never thought of it like that!
