Today is World Emoji Day!

Today is World Emoji Day. So, wish you all a very Happy World Emoji Day!

I am neither a fan nor a big user of Emojis. I use a few Emojis at times while sending out greetings simply because everyone else does it. However I am fully aware of the popularity of Emojis and how they are used extensively, sometimes more Emojis than words in a message!

World Emoji Day is celebrated annually since 2014, on 17th July. Since then it has become a global celebration of Emoji, mostly online.  There is hardly anyone who does not know of it or has not used it. But many would not know of its origins. Emoji is Japanese. It originated on Japanese mobile phones in late 1990s. It is now available internationally on all mobile phones and computers.

And for those who have not heard of or seen Emojis, they are like emoticons and exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, animals and so on. They are pictorial shortcuts to expressing ones emotions. They are great to use in situations such as texting and Twitter where the space to express is limited.

Here are some Emojis for your knowledge and use:
