you should just be able to set input's value to the unicode emojis and the emoji picker will convert it. example: <input type="text" data-emojiable="true" value="😄">

Alright guys, I had the same request and need. To convert the unicode versions back into the same images you see in the Picker, you can do:

window.emojiPicker.appendUnicodeAsImageToElement($("#yourDivID"),"😃")

Replace yourDivID with whatever the id of your element. You can also use getElementByID('yourDivID') instead.

Hope this helps someone!
