Chrome (Google) Emojis
Chrome Os through its inclusion of the Noto fonts, supports the emoji set introduced through Unicode 6.2. As of Chrome OS 41, Noto Color Emoji is the default font for most emoji.
IOS & OS X Emojis
Apple first introduced emoji to their desktop operating system with the release of OS X 10 7 Lion .Users can view Emoji characters sent through email and messaging applications, which are commonly shared by mobile users, as well as any other application. Users can create Emoji symbols using the "Characters" special input panel from almost any OS X application by selecting the "Edit" menu and pulling down to "Special Characters", or by the key combination. OS X uses the Apple Color Emoji font that was introduced in iOS. This provides users with full color pictographs.
With the introduction of OS X 10.9 Mavericks users can now access a dedicated emoji input palette in most text input boxes by using the key combination.

Windows Emojis
Windows 8 and higher supports the full Unicode emoji characters through Microsoft's Segoe UI family of fonts. Emoji characters are accessed through the onscreen keyboard's "smiley" key. As of Windows 8.1 Preview, Segoe UI Emoji font supplies full-color pictographs. Differently from OS X & iOS, color glyphs are only supplied when the application supports Microsoft's Direct write API, and Segoe UI Emoji is explicitly declared, otherwise monochrome glyphs appear.
Android emojis
Android devices support emoji differently depending on the operating system version. Google added native emoji support to the Google Keyboard in November 2013 for devices running Android 4.4 and later. Emoji is also supported by the Google Hangouts application (independent of the keyboard in use), in both hangout and SMS modes. Several third-party messaging and keyboard applications (such as SwiftKey) for Android device also provide plugins that allow the use of emoji.
How emoji became popular.
Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e ("picture") + moji ("character"). The apparent resemblance to English "emotion" and "emoticon" is just a coincidence.
Emoji have become increasingly popular since their international inclusion in Apple's iphone, which was followed by similar adoption by Android and other mobile operating systems.
Microsoft added monochrome Unicode emoji coverage to the Segoe UI Symbol system font in Windows 8 and added color emoji in Windows 8.1 via the Segoe UI Emoji font.
