''Who'' has the time to type out actual words? And that's where we come in, the most important invention in the history of communication... Emojis!"''

7Emojis are one-character pictures used to convey a wide range of emotions, people, things, and locations. The word comes from [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]] ''e'' ("picture") + ''moji'' ("character"), and its resemblance to the English word "emotion" [[IncidentalMultilingualWordplay is a total coincidence]].

9Emojis started becoming popular in Japan in 1999 as a simpler way to send {{emoticon}}s over smartphones. Creator/{{Apple}} started supporting emojis in 2008 initially for Japanese users only, and in 2011 for the rest of the world. Platform/{{Android}} and [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] followed suit two years later. Emojis quickly became the trendiest way to send pictures as text over the internet.
10
11The Unicode Consortium is responsible for approving new emojis, and [[DependingOnTheArtist different platforms decide how they will render each one]] (see right). Every year Unicode approves a hundred or so new emojis. In 2015, Unicode added the option to change the skin tone of people emojis, and the group has pushed for adding emojis more representative of all the people who use them. For example, in 2019 Unicode announced the addition of emojis which represent different disabilities.

19
20[[folder:Tropes ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ]]

22* AllDesertsHaveCacti: ๐Ÿœ๏ธ
23* AmbiguousGender: The default for most of the people-in-roles emojis.
24* {{Animesque}}:
25** Since emojis were originally just for Japanese smartphone users, they have an outsized Japanese influence. See: ๐Ÿ—พ[[note]]No other country has its own map[[/note]], ๐Ÿ—ป[[note]]Mount Fuji, Japan[[/note]], ๐Ÿฃ[[note]]Japanese Post Office[[/note]], ๐ŸฅŸ[[note]]Dumpling[[/note]], ๐ŸŽ‘[[note]]Moon Viewing Ceremony[[/note]], ๐Ÿ’ฎ[[note]]In the Apple version has the Japanese text "well done".[[/note]], ๐Ÿ—ผ[[note]]Tokyo Tower[[/note]], ๐Ÿฏ[[note]]Japanese Castle[[/note]], โ›ฉ๏ธ[[note]]Shinto Shrine[[/note]], ๐Ÿ“›[[note]]name badge used in Japanese kindergartens[[/note]], ใŠ—๏ธ[[note]]celebration[[/note]]
26** The facial expressions and gestures borrow a lot from Japanese media. See: [[SnotBubble ๐Ÿ˜ช]] [[SweatDrop ๐Ÿ˜…]] [[SillyMeGesture ๐Ÿ˜œ]] [[JapanesePoliteness ๐Ÿ™‡ ๐Ÿ™]] [[CrossPoppingVeins ๐Ÿ’ข]] [[{{Oni}} ๐Ÿ‘น]] [[{{Tengu}} ๐Ÿ‘บ]].

28* BlueMeansCold: ๐Ÿฅถ
29* BlueWithShock: ๐Ÿ˜จ
30* {{Bowdlerise}}: In 2016, Apple [[https://blog.emojipedia.org/apple-and-the-gun-emoji/ changed]] the gun emoji (๐Ÿ”ซ) into a toy pistol.

31* TheCameo: The paperclip emoji (๐Ÿ“Ž) on Windows 11 is none other than [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftOfficeAssistant Clippy]].

36* CatNinja: ๐Ÿฑโ€๐Ÿ‘ค[[note]]The [[https://emojipedia.org/ninja-cat/ Ninja Cat emoji]] is only rendered by Microsoft in Windows 10's Segoe Color Emoji font; they dropped it with the Fluent design emojis in Windows 11.[[/note]]

38* CoolShades: ๐Ÿ˜Ž
39* CrossPoppingVeins: ๐Ÿ’ข

41* CryLaughing: ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜น
42* DependingOnTheArtist: Emojis render differently based on which platform or operating system they're viewed on.
43* DistaffCounterpart: To avoid accusations of sexism, most emojis are either gender-neutral or have both male and female counterparts.
44* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: ๐Ÿ’– (sparkling heart)
45* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: The [[https://emojipedia.org/mozilla/firefox-os-2.5/ring/ Ring emoji on Mozilla Firefox OS 2.5]] has sparkles.
46%%* Eye Roll: ๐Ÿ™„
47* TheFaceOfTheSun: ๐ŸŒž is a cartoon sun with a smiling face on it.

50* FascinatingEyebrow: ๐Ÿคจ is a face with one eyebrow raised.

52* FlippingTheBird: ๐Ÿ–•
53* FlowerMotifs: Apple's version of the White Flower emoji (๐Ÿ’ฎ) has the Japanese text "you did very well", since Japanese teachers often use it as a stamp of approval.

63* LadyInRed: The dancer emoji ๐Ÿ’ƒ is often described as a sexy, confident woman and wears a red dress.
64* LostInTranslation:
65** Since emojis originated in Japan, some of them have distinctive Japanese meanings which have mostly been lost in western culture. For example, ๐Ÿ’ข means [[CrossPoppingVeins anger]] (not firecrackers), ๐Ÿ™‡ is [[JapanesePoliteness bowing]] (not a kid trying to act cute), ๐Ÿ’ฎ is a [[FlowerMotifs stamp of approval]] (not just a flower), ๐Ÿ™ means please [[JapanesePoliteness please or thank you]] (not praying), and ๐Ÿ’จ means dashing away (not farting).
66** Even outside of Japan, some emojis have evolved from their original meanings. ๐Ÿ˜ค was originally called "Face With Look of Triumph", but is mostly used for expressing anger. ๐Ÿ™† is called "Person Gesturing OK", though it's also used as Ballerina or Hands On Head. ๐Ÿ’ is originally "Information Desk Person" and it's used as HairFlip or Sassy Girl.
67** A [[http://fortune.com/2016/04/14/emoji-miscommunication-study-umn/ study from the University of Minnesota]] found that people give wildly different descriptions for the same emoji rendered on different platforms.

83* PuppyDogEyes: ๐Ÿฅบ

87** ๐Ÿ–– references SelfDemonstrating/{{Spock}}'s [[StrangeSalute Vulcan salute]].

90** The number on Facebook's [[https://emojipedia.org/pager/ pager emoji]] is the Facebook Customer Support number (without the area code).

105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Trivia โ“]]
108* BannedInChina: Since China doesn't recognize Taiwan, the Taiwanese flag emoji (๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ) is blocked there. This has caused some problems with Apple's [=iOS=], [[https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/chinese-censorship-bug-caused-iphone-crashes-when-receiving-taiwan-flag-emoji/ causing some phones to crash when it's displayed]].
109* FollowTheLeader: Apple started rendering the Pistol emoji (๐Ÿ”ซ) as a toy gun in 2016, and soon the other major platforms followed suit.
110* NoExportForYou: Flag emojis are unavailable on Windows platforms, and trying to display or insert country flags there only shows letters from respective countries. (They will still show up on apps and services such as Discord, which have their own design sets embedded.)
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:YMMV โ›ฝ]]
114* ItsPopularNowItSucks: It's not hard to find a person online who refuses to use emojis because of how ubiquitous they are, not helped by all the shoddy [[TheMerch merchandise]] made of them.
115* MemeticMolester: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcBJuuYKo_A ๐ŸŒš๐ŸŒš๐ŸŒš]] '''[[WebVideo/{{Smosh}} I'm gonna molest you!]]'''
116* MemeticMutation:

118** Variations of [[CryLaughing ๐Ÿ˜‚]] are used to represent insanity.
119** ๐Ÿค” and variations thereof are commonly used to represent confusion or to throw shade on others.
120** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Using ๐Ÿ‘ the ๐Ÿ‘ clapping ๐Ÿ‘ emoji ๐Ÿ‘ for ๐Ÿ‘ emphasis]]!
121** ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘ข๐Ÿ‘ข howdy. i'm the sheriff of troperville[[note]]The sheriff is usually arranged [[https://twitter.com/EverySheriff like this]][[/note]]
122** Some emojis are used to represent Internet memes: ๐Ÿ˜พ[[note]]Grumpy Cat[[/note]], ๐Ÿง[[note]]Socially awkward penguin[[/note]], ๐Ÿธ[[note]]Pepe the Frog[[/note]], ๐Ÿธโ˜•๏ธ[[note]][[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/but-thats-none-of-my-business But That's None of My Business]][[/note]], ๐Ÿฆ€[[note]]The "Crab Rave" meme[[/note]]
123** ๐Ÿคฃ,๐Ÿ˜ญ, ๐Ÿ˜ณ, ๐Ÿคจ, and ๐Ÿ’€ are the most common memetic reactions.
124* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: On Twitter, emojis are often placed in one's handle or profile summary to make a political point or make fun of the other side.
125** In the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. election, two factions of left-leaning American politics engaged in the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/liberal-twitter-emoji-war Liberal Twitter Emoji War]]. The socialist left (๐ŸŒน) would use ๐ŸŒฝ to make fun of the centrist left, which would use ๐Ÿฅ€ and ๐Ÿฉ to make fun of the socialist left.
126** Right-leaning Twitter also has its own emojis. The flag of one's country (e.g. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ or ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง) often shows pride in one's country. Reports that Twitter was "shadow-banning" conservative accounts prompted some to put โŒ in their handles. The Frog emoji (๐Ÿธ) is used by the far-right to evoke the Pepe the Frog meme.
127** Efforts to make emojis more inclusive get a lot of political heat. Efforts to add a Hijab emoji and [[https://twitter.com/jenniferdaniel/status/1004427564679458816 make a salad more vegan]] is viewed by some as PoliticalOvercorrectness, while others view them as long overdue.

151* ''Literature/RowleyJeffersonsAwesomeFriendlySpookyStories'' uses emojis in ''The Scanner''. After everyone turns into skeletons because of the scanner, they use the skeleton emoji, but the emoji has no expression so nobody can tell what emotion they're trying to express.
