Emoji have become an unofficial universal language in everyday communication. It almost feels like some people were born knowing the proper usage of each one. For instance, there's no doubt that the tears of joy emoji is used as a way to tell someone you're laughing so hard that you're crying.
Emoji concept has roots dating back to the 1940s when smiley faces, a yellow circle with two black dots for eyes and an arc for a smiling mouth, became popular. The word emoji, however is derived from the Japanese word âEâ meaning picture and âmojiâ meaning character. Though there are thousands of emoji in circulation all over the world, there are many emojis which are specific to Japanese culture and cuisine.
