If you are sending Emoji then that is really dependant on the receiver
having the font installed to display them, I see that Mac OSX10.7 and
Windows 8 support them [1]. However the majority of desktop users probably
are going to require to send an image instead.

P.S. On a side note I found this which made me chuckle:
"So it would seem that, to cut a long story short, Apple’s emoji are
directly incompatible with every other handset in the world."
