Emoji are ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and Web pages. They are used much like emoticons and exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals. The first emoji was created in 1999 in Japan by Shigetaka Kurita, who wanted to provide users with a way to communicate through images. Originating on Japanese mobile phones in the late 1990s, emoji have
become increasingly popular worldwide since their international
inclusion in Apple's iPhone, which was followed by similar adoption by
Android and other mobile operating systems.
Apple was looking to expand its market in Japan. People had been using
these characters to provide context to their communication, so Apple
added a hidden feature in the iOS5 update. Suddenly, yellow faces and
poop icons became a part of our lexicon.
Android "O" an upcoming release of the Android mobile operating system, supports new emoji that will be included in the Unicode 10 standard. A new emoji font was also introduced, which notably redesigns its face figures to use a traditional circular shape, as opposed to the "blob" design that was introduced on Android "KitKat".
One Emoji to Rule Them All Before an emoji can become an emoji it must be approved by the Unicode Consortium. Approval process typically takes 1 to 2 years.
Unicode Consortium Submission Process:-
1. Submit a proposal
2. Provide justification for its creation by proving a need.
Argue that the icon is already popular online and frequently searched. • Show that a currently existing family of emoji is missing this pivotal group member. • Prove that there is no other way to express this idea with an existing emoji combination.
Emoji communication problems(With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility) :-
Research has shown that emojis are often misunderstood. In some cases, this is related to how the actual emoji design is interpreted by the viewer, in other cases the emoji that was sent, was not shown in the same way at the receiving side.
The difference between these two problems is, that the first relates to the cultural or contextual interpretation of the smiley. When the author picks a smiley, the author thinks about the smiley in a certain way, but the same smiley may not trigger the same thoughts with the receiver. See also Models of communication.
The second problem is technological. When an author of a message picks a smiley from a list of smiley faces, this smiley is encoded in some way during the transmission, and if the author and the reader do not use the same software or operating system for their devices, the reader's device may visualize the same smiley in a different way.
Small changes to a smiley's look may completely alter its perceived meaning with the receiver.
