3 Facts for World Emoji Day (July 17)
3 Facts, for World Emoji Day.
1. Shigetaka Kurita
is viewed as the
'Father of Emoji.'.
The Japanese designer created the first emojis
in 1999 for a program where users were limited to
250 characters in an email.
I'm surprised at how widespread they have become. Then again, they are universal, so they are useful communication tools that transcend language, Kurita, to 'The Guardian,' 2016.
2. The most popular emojis
vary from country to country.
In the U.S., Canada and the U.K.,
the "despairing crying face" is most used.
3. The father
of emoticons
dislikes emojis.
Remember when you had to
type this, :) , instead of an emoji?.
Carnegie Mellon science professor
Scott Fahlman created this version of digital emotion on a 1982 message board. However, he dislikes emojis.
I think they are ugly, and they ruin the challenge of trying to come up with a clever way to express emotions using standard keyboard characters, Fahlman, to the 'Independent,' 2012
