    You just need to follow these steps 1. make sure you have set header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); 2. use this method

    function decodeEmoticons($src) {
    $replaced = preg_replace("/\\u([0-9A-F]{1,4})/i", "&#x$1;", $src);
    $result = mb_convert_encoding($replaced, "UTF-16", "HTML-ENTITIES");
    $result = mb_convert_encoding($result, 'utf-8', 'utf-16');
    return $result;
}
$src = "u263aud83dude00ud83dude01ud83dude02ud83dude03";
echo decodeEmoticons($src);

    it will shows you the emojis icons
