Emoji (Yes, the plural is “emoji”, not “emojis”) were first created in the late 20th century by Shigetaka Kurita, working for Japanese mobile telco NTT DoCoMo. While there were originally just 176, emoji are now part of the Unicode specification and there are now over 1,000. Unicode 9.0 contains 1,088 emoji. What are your favorite emoji?
