History of Emoji
There are currently 3664 different emojis. Over 10 billion emojis are sent every day 🤯
Emoticons have come a long way since their formation in the late 20th century 🙋♂️
In a world where the vast majority of communication and expression is achieved through messaging and social media, Emoji has provided people with a vast array of tools to send and receive information with far greater accuracy and empathy than could possibly be achieved with standard letters, numbers and symbols 🙄
Emoji is everywhere: It's in your DMs, your social feeds, and even your work inbox; your Grandma uses emojis; and sometimes you just default to emoji-only messaging when thinking of words is too much effort 😴
Deliberate and strategic use of emojis in conjunction with text has the potential to create a deeper meaning and more distinct tone than text alone, meaning messages are less likely to be misinterpreted. Emoji helps us differentiate between sarcasm and seriousness; fear and excitement; amusement and disgust; disappointment and relief; and much more 👀
