17th July 2024- In today’s digital age, communication is faster and more convenient than ever, with emojis at the forefront of this revolution. Over 90% of online users incorporate emojis into their messages, making these tiny icons a significant part of our online language.

Did you know that July 17th is dedicated to celebrating these beloved symbols? World Emoji Day, established by Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia—a comprehensive resource for everything emoji—honours these essential elements of digital communication. The choice of this date is clever: on iOS keypads, the calendar emoji displays July 17, making it a fitting selection for World Emoji Day.

In the era of social media, emojis play a crucial role on platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and WhatsApp. They not only influence our daily interactions but also enhance communication by allowing us to express feelings without words. Emojis have a cultural impact, conveying various emotions, concepts, and ideas, with meanings that can vary based on context and culture. These tiny digital icons enable us to communicate more effectively and colourfully.

Celebrate World Emoji Day by appreciating the creativity and expression these digital symbols bring to our everyday conversations.
