- July 17th was chosen as World Emoji Day because it’s the date displayed on the 📅 Calendar Emoji on Apple’s iOS.
- The 😂 Face with Tears of Joy emoji was named the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 and remains one of the most popular emojis worldwide.
- The Unicode Consortium, the organisation that standardises emojis, has introduced a range of skin tones, gender options, and inclusive representations to make emojis more diverse.
- In 2017, emojis even hit the big screen with “The Emoji Movie”. It grossed approximately $217 million worldwide against a production budget of around $50 million. However, the ratings left much to be desired.
