Is there a way to install additional emojis, without replacing
the standard Android keyboard or having a new app running in the
background?

 
Additional emoji are generally added by android updates after
they've been added to unicode
 

I sometimes use emojis in messages, but those which came with my
phone are too limited and many seem chosen for school children.

 
If you go "adding your own" how do you know your recipient is
likely to have them at the other end?
 
 

 
Don't forget that adding an emoji to a text message makes the whole
message be sent in double rate, i.e. you only get 80 characters
instead of 160.

 
That may be so, but Pamela only mentioned "messages", not SMS
('text') messages per se. So these "messages" might be - and probably
are - any *other* (non-SMS) kind of messages, especially as Pamela
(cross)posted to a UK group. In the non-US/NA world, sending SMS
messages is quite uncommon since many years.

You're right. I often send messages using Google "Chat".

My phone also permits Goole RCS messages (instead of sending via SMS).
