I saw the iPhone emoji and I want to get a high quality image of it to turn into the space grey color, but I can't find an image on the Internet. Does anyone know where the image file for the emoji is stored?
I am using OS X Yosemite.
Thanks.

Do the answers to apple.stackexchange.com/questions/52557/… help? If not, are you looking for one specific emoji (which one) or for all? – nohillside♦ Nov 5 '15 at 16:37

I'm looking for where all of the image files for the emojis are stored on my hard drive. – atirit Nov 5 '15 at 21:02
Emojis are handled like any other fonts, the corresponding font file is stored in /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttf. So there are no images per se which you could reuse (even ignoring any potential copyright problems).
Three options on how to get emoji images (without programming a little tool to parse the font file directly):
- use the Character Viewer as described in https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/52558/9058 and a screen graber to get an image from the emoji you are interested in
- use Font Book to look at the characters/glyphs available in "Apple Color Emoji"
- use Google Image Search to find bigger image file representing the emoji you need
