add runtime display of ascii emoji to unicode #69

To make the sent and received message text a little nicer when emoticons are included, it would be great to convert ASCII emoticons to their Unicode form on the display. Messages that already include the Unicode form of the emoticons already display correctly. This would be an enhancement to convert the ASCII form to Unicode at display-time only. Similar to the Emoji.replaceInText() call in android: https://github.com/SafeSlingerProject/SafeSlinger-Android/blob/master/safeslinger-messenger/src/edu/cmu/cylab/starslinger/util/Emoji.java
