- (IBAction)sendButtonSelected:(id)sender {
NSMutableArr         


        

Answer 1

Wel said by @AliSoftware, the Plist data will be read as-it is, so you can add the emojis to your plist by following this steps:

1) Go to your top bar, and click on Edit.

2) Now select Special Characters

3) Now drag and drop emoji to plist.

For more details I am adding snap shots. take a look at it.

Answer 2

The \uxxxx notation is only interpreted by the compiler (as the source code is usually in ASCII or MacRoman or whatever but not often UTF8)

Plist files uses the characters directly, and are encoded in UTF8. So you should insert the emoji character itself into the plist directly, instead of using the \uxxxx notation, as the Plist data will be read as-is.

Lion and Mountain Lion Keyboard palettes contains emoji characters directly, so that should not be difficult to insert the characters when editing the PLIST anyway.
