Emoji
Emojis are a set of tiny graphics used in digital channels from text messages to social media.
Emojis first appeared in the late 1990s. They evolved from emoticons (such as the smiley face) made using characters on the standard keyboard. In 2010, the Unicode Consortium approved Google’s proposal to standardize emoji characters. iOS and Android both have built-in emoji keyboards.
