July 17, 2022 was the ninth World Emoji Day. This holiday is to celebrate all the emojis and it's a big day for emoji-lovers. The founder(创始人) of Emojipedia, Jeremy Burge created it in 2014.
The first emojis came out in the late 1990s on mobile phones. They are some small symbols showing ideas or feelings, but today emojis are a useful communication tool. There are over 3,000 thousand different emojis. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social medias, such as WeChat. They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court judge in England even used a smiley face emoji in a document to make it easy to explain the court's decision to children.
Now new emojis are invented every year and added on Emojipedia, including A Yellow Face with Three Hearts in 2018, A Face with Medical Mask in 2020, Hearts on Fire in 2021 and A Shaking Face last year. If you want to send someone a message using emoji, check Emojipedia for more. And you can find out what each emoji means and how to use it.
People like emojis because they can show feelings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or text, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words. In the Internet Age, emojis help us better understand something, communicate faster, and even may help build successful relationships.
But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones, a reporter said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages. But for now, maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.
