The emoticons used in text are in fact Unicode characters. So the "custom" emoticons are just using a special font, not images. The app you're referencing simply seems to use the same font as the Facebook app.

So the real answer is: you copy and paste them like normal text. And you cannot control how they will look like in other apps, as that is dependent on the font the other app is using.
