HERE IS HOW TO ADD SYMBOLS IN YOUR SMS/EMAILS:
1) Go to settings -> general -> keyboard -> international keyboards.
2) Activate the japanese keyboard regardless of whether u speak japanese.
3) Open text box in SMS/EMAIL/Safari whatever.
4) Hit the globe button until it switches to japanese (kana not qwert) keyboard.
5) On the left hand side hit the second button from the bottom that says abc until it switches to *123.
6) Your keyboard should now have symbols on it.

Keyboard Symbols - Emoji
I guess I'm missing something, because when I go to Add New Keyboard, there is no Emoji selection. Do I need to do something else first?

I think you need iOS 6 or 6.0.1. I saw it right away without adding any additional apps.

If it's a symbol you use frequently, you could also add a two letter shortcut for it
Settings...General...Keyboard...Shortcuts
Settings...General...Keyboard...Shortcuts
