The foxfooding builds of Firefox OS don't appear to have support for entering emoji.

As ridiculous as they are, not having them limits my ability to communicate with my friends and family. 
You can download emoji from the marketplace, this is not built into the OS.

Wilfred?  There's a strong request for this.  Could you pass this to the right product manager please?

(FWIW, the emoji keyboard in the Marketplace is basically unusable; it registers almost all touches as swipes, making it extremely difficult to select characters.)

Patryk, is emoji support planned to come in?  I thought I heard something about it coming.

:pdol
It was 2.1 but then got delayed, I am going to try to get it into 2.5 but will need dev help.

FWIW recent Foxfooding feedback has breathed new life into https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=993899#c36 and this is actually pretty close to landing, yay! ;)
