✨ Fun emoji facts
- The first emoji was created in Japan in 1998.
- The emoji is based on the premise of using text markers to form images. This dates back to the 1960s when Russian novelist and professor Vladimir Nabokov stated in an interview with The New York Times “I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile.” However, it wasn’t until the 1980s when computer scientist Scott Fahlman invented the emoticon, by suggesting that 🙂 and 🙁 could replace language.
- Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, “picture”) + moji (文字, “character”). The resemblance to the English words emotion and emoticon is purely coincidental.
- July 17 is the official World Emoji Day.
- The first emoji-themed convention, Emojicon, was held in San Francisco in 2016.
- In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries named the Face with Tears of Joy emoji (?) the Word of the Year.
