After cross referencing Supported Unicode Sequences as well as the Visual Unicode Database I realized that \u1F601 was a 32 bit Unicode representation, and the 16bit representation can be set like :

Toast.makeText(this, "Smileys = " + ("\ud83d\ude01"),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Change the last digit of ("\ud83d\ude01")unicode to change the smiley
