Emoji! We’ve all used them to express emotions when we write. No doubt, it is a great way to tell someone how you’re feeling.
To celebrate World Emoji Day, Apple will be adding new Emojis to their existing list. The new Emojis will be rolled out this autumn and will be compatible with iOS, Mac, and Watch, which leads us to believe it will come with iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra because the schedules match.
Emoji originated on Japanese mobile phones in late 1990 and became increasingly popular worldwide as internet technology advanced. The word “Emoji” is derived from Japanese words e – (picture) and moji (for the character). Emoji emerged as a textual expression, turning into full-fledged animated faces and symbols.
The collection of little characters is constantly expanding since it started helping portray our emotions easily. In 2000, a library of over 1000 smiley graphics was released into the world, and ever since it has been continuously growing – there is no device without an Emoji. Emoji has made expressions simpler and easier like never before.
