Have you missed your Emoji icons on your iPad? I have a solution! The FreeEmoji App allows you to enable the hidden Emoji keyboard in your iPad without jailbreaking your device. It also allows you to copy and paste symbols into other apps. To enable emoji icons in every app, launch the FreeEmoji app then tap the unlock icon at the bottom of the screen. There will be directions to install. I will list them here (in my own words). First, you flip the switch that says 'off'. Next, you exit the FreeEmoji app. Then, you go to Settings. In Settings, you tap 'General' then 'Keyboard' then 'International Keyboards' then 'Add New Keyboard'. Here, you can select Emoji. After you select Emoji fully turn off your iPad and turn it back on. When you go into any app that has a keyboard, press the Globe symbol at the bottom of the keyboard to bring up the Emoji icon list. Here is an example.
