It is said that a picture is equal to thousand words. Something like this is like this in the case of emoji. A emoji says a lot about the whole mood and likes and dislikes of a human being. This is an icon that describes the emotion well. It has become the language of today’s youth. The date of July 17 is dedicated to emoji, which is celebrated as World Emoji Day. This special day was celebrated in 2014 for the first time. In 2014, it was started by Jeremy Burj, founder of Emojipedia. The purpose of celebrating this special day was to promote emoji.
Gave emoji birth from a Japanese man. Whose name was Shigeta Kurita. It is interesting that Shigeta Kurita coined emoji at the age of just 25. He first prepared a 176 emoji set in 1999. That set created history. He was placed as a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Ort in New York. Now the question arises that how is the emoji born in the world of words?
Why was there a need for emoji of the world of words?
The special thing about Shigeta Kurita is that she neither earned engineering nor an official degree of designing. Shigetaka Kurita, who studied economics, worked for the mobile internet service company. In the early stages of technology, the number of words was limited to send messages, from here he got its idea.
Shigetaka Kurita felt that if a special icon is sent instead of words, then your talk can be said with full emotion and words can also be saved. Keeping this in mind, he used the word emoji in email. For the first time, he prepared sets of 176 emojis. It started being liked. The revolution of internet converted emoji into a kind of language. The youth started using emoji instead of words to say their words.
