All of the above replies = epic fail
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.

You should also check out the Glyph-Board.

Follow the directions to add a link on your home screen. When you launch it you can then copy any icon and paste it anywhere else in iOS.

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?

Yes, you do need to do something else first. You need to install Emoji Free from the app store - something that poster neglected to mention!
I've added the emoji keyboard but have limited symbols how can I extend this? I can't see half of what uve shown

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

The OP was just shy of 6 years ago, a lot has changed on the phone since then.
