How to Add Non-Japanese Kana Emojis to Your Farm Name

After seeing many emojis on farm names as I went from farm to farm, I wanted to learn how to add them to mine. Thanks to friend Besta from my list, I was able to do so.

Since the emoji keyboard on our iPads/iPhones doesn't work in the farm name, you will need to go to a separate website.

Go to convert-emoji.com.  When you go to this website, you have to use the emojis that they offer and then you have to use the letters from your keyboard on your iPad/iPhone to type your farm name. After you make your farm name in the large white box using emojis and whatever name you choose, click "Create Emoji Text" which is just under that box.

Next choose the first choice listed which is "Original Emoji Code." Copy whatever is in that box.

Now go to Keyboard in your iPad/iPhone Settings, and click on Shortcuts (Text Replacement): *

      Keyboard > Shortcuts (Text Replacement)> Add (+) new shortcut > Phrase > Shortcut (Text Replacement)
           Phrase: Paste the emoji name that you have just created.
           Shortcut (Text Replacement): Type in capital letters something like XPK or whatever you wouldn't normally use for a shortcut phrase.

Now go to your farm.
    Click Settings > Change Farm Name. In your farm name box, type your shortcut letters in caps and hit Return. Voila! You should now have a farm name with emojis included.

This worked for me, but my teacher may have explained it better than I. If you have any problems with this, please let me know, and I will try again.

Enjoy!


* The term Shortcuts in Settings has now become Text Replacement in version iOS 9.1.
