🚩Why country flag emojis only show two-letter codes on Windows?

The essence of country flag emojiThe reason why country flag emojis only show two-letter codes on WindowsSummarySpeaking of the most commonly used computer systems, it must be Apple’s MacOS system and Microsoft’s Windows operating system. However, when using Microsoft Windows systems, users may encounter this kind of situation: When we want to use country flag emojis on a Windows computer, instead of showing the color emojis, they might show a 2-letter country codes, like CN for China, GB for United Kingdom. Windows 10 has now been out for 6 years since 2015, But until now, the Windows system still does not support flag emojis, Why is that? This has to starts with the explanation of the essence and display principle of country flag emoji.Country flags are a combination of 2 regional indicator symbols that are diaplayed as a flag. The regional indicator symbols are a set of 26 alphabetic Unicode characters, by combiding them it can represent countries and support country flag emojis. In 2007, the Unicode Technical Committee received a draft proposal from 3 Japanese telecommunications companies DoCoMo, KDDI, and SoftBank. They want to encode emoji symbols, specifically those in widespread use on mobile phones. The proposed symbols included ten national flags:China（🇨🇳）、France（🇫🇷）、the UK（🇬🇧）、Germany（🇩🇪）、Spain（🇪🇸）、Italy（🇮🇹）、Japan（🇯🇵）、South Korea（🇰🇷）、United States（🇺🇸）and Russia（🇷🇺）。 Although this proposal was finally passed, some people think that encoding these flags but not other countries' flags was somehow prejudicial. In the next few years, the Unicode Consortium received many proposals try to solve this problem, but it has been unable to find the most reasonable solution. October 2010 (Unicode 6.0), the Unicode Consortium came up with a reasonable solution that instead of taking the time to re-encode each flag, it is better to use the regional indicator symbols to represent the country flag emojis. Country flags are codes that combined of 2 regional indicator symbols. However, whether to display as colorful emojis, this question is left to each platform to consider. This is why the same country flag emoji will show different designs and shapes on different platforms. 💡：e.g. This is the regional flag of Wallis and Futuna. Except for EmojiOne and EmojiTwo, they are all displayed as unofficial flag, and the texture, state, and shape of the flag are different from each platform. In conclusion, country flag emojis are the combination of 2 regional indicator letters, whether to display as colorful flag emojis, it depends on each platform’s decisions. However, not all "countries" are recognized, and regional flags can be divided into official and unofficial. As a multinational technology company, Microsoft decide only to display regional indicator symbols to avoid political problems and disputes.At this point, maybe you can understand why Microsoft's Windows system cannot display the colored country emojis. Now you know the true form of country flag emojis. That is to say, even if the emoji only displays combination of 2 letters on your Windows device, the receiver's non-Windows device will still display the normal color emoji after receiving it. For example: 💡：Though it is display a letter combination when you send it, receiver's non-Windows system device will still show the normal Five-star Red Flag emoji. There are two ways to send country flag emoji from a Windows system device: Find the flag you want in category Country-Flag, copy and paste that 2-letter code, then send it to any non-Windows system device and it will show as a normal coloured flag at the other end. If you know the regional indicator letters of a specific country, for example: If you know that Brazil's code is [BR], you can directly combine the regional indicator letters [B] and [R] to create Brazil's flag emoji and send it to your friend. We have summed up all the regional indicator letters in Topic (If you still don't understand the regional indicator letters, we recommend the method above.) This is the reason why country flag emojis only show two-letter codes on Windows system, more articles please check our bolg website.

🎉The World Emoji Day!

2021, the seventh annual World Emoji Day is coming👏!! July 17 is an important day for every emoji-lovers, it is an annual unofficial holiday to celebrate emoji. As one of the emoji fans, of course we need to do something in this special day! As we know emoji has become the most common element in social network culture, it also has become an international language and deeply loved by users. Under this social phenomenon, people have begun to extend the usage of emoji to get more fun, even began to study emoji. This subverting most people's traditional cognition of emoji. 🔺：One of the most popular emoji game(?) in tiktok: Emoji Redesign So, let's me show you the origin of World Emoji Day, and some interesting information about Emoji.Since NTT engineer Kurita Shigetaka designed about 200 emoji images for the release of the Japanese mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo's integrated mobile internet service "i-mode", emoji has started its global phenomenon. With the development of coding technology, emoji can be sent to different devices of various platforms. At this point, some emoji-lovers come up with a thought: We need to have a day to celebrate emoji! In order to make emoji widely used, hopefully make people feel the fun of emoji, in 2014, Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge created this interesting holiday. At the first, he planned to use November 21, the date Apple introduced emoji to their iPhone, as the date of World Emoji Day. However, on the one hand, November 21 is a little bit late in a year, on the other hand, at that time, emoji support was somewhat limited, even hidden on non-Apple devices, Jeremy Burge thinks maybe the date shows in iPhone calendar emoji is the most obvious and most appropriate date for World Emoji Day. As for the reason why July 17, the date was inspired by the calendar emoji shows on iPhone. July 17, it's also the date iCal premiered at the MacWorld conference in 2002. And now "World Emoji Day finds its place on a packed calendar of holidays", reported by CNBC, an American pay television business.Speaking of the emoji [Calendar📅], it belongs to one of the earliest set of emoji, which submitted by 3 Japanese carrier in 2010 (KDDI, NTT Docomo and Softbank). When World Emoji Day spreads to the world, in 2016, Google changed the appearance of its calendar emoji to display 17 July on its products, such as Android, Gmail, Hangouts, and Chrome OS. and nowadays, most of major platforms had switched to show July 17 on their calendar emoji, to avoid confusion on World Emoji Day. There is a funny episode of calendar emoji in Twitter's twemoji. The original design of Twemoji's calendar showed the date of July 15 (Twitter's launch date), then it was changed to March 21, the founding date of Twitter company. And on July 13, 2020, Twemoji updated its calendar emoji and shows July 17 now. This kind of act can show the impact that World Emoji Day brought to the world. However, there are some vendors have not use July 17 in their calendar emoji, but the date they display is also has meaning to them. For example, Facebook calendar emoji shows May 14th, it is the date of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's birthday🎂. WhatsApp shows February 24, 2009, it is the earliest registration time for WhatsApp. As for those platforms which displays [12] in their calendar, it is said to indicate that there are twelve months in one year. Since World Emoji Day was established, many Emoji-related events have been held in this day every year. And some companies use this day to launch emoji-related promotions. July 17, 2015, World Emoji Day became a hot topic on Twitter. Same year, Pepsi released an emoji keyboard called PepsiMoji, and made custom emoji Pepsi cans and bottles. (so cute!) 2016, Pepsi hosted a special party to celebrate the opening of the pop-up interactive exhibit that was timed to World Emoji Day. 2017, to celebrate the upcoming "The Emoji Movie", Saks Fifth Avenue launched a limited-edition products and emotive window at its flagship store. Same year, in order to celebrate World Emoji Day, Google released a series of new emoji that to represent women in several background and work. The Empire State Building lighted up “emoji yellow” for World Emoji Day this year. 🖼️: Twitter @WorldEmojiDay What's more, A Guinness World Record was attempted in Dubai on World Emoji Day in 2017 for the "largest gathering of people dressed as emojis." (Cool! I wish I was there too🥺) 2018, a musical called "Emojiland" premiered off-broadway in New York City at The Acorn Theatre on World Emoji Day. 🖼️: Photo by Jeremy Daniel 2019, the British Library hosted an event on World Emoji Day, and the National Museum of Cinema in Turin also hosted the exhibition #FacceEmozioni 1500–2020: From Physiognomy to Emojis on this day. 2020, people can't gather around due to COVID-19, so many people spontaneously held many Emoji-related events on social media under hashtag #WorldEmojiDay. At the same time, we also have a section of unofficial annual awards about emoji, to show the most used 10 emojis in this year. The best 10 emoji in 2019 and 2020 are these emojis. And in 2021, there are something change of this ranking: It is kind of surprised that the “king” of emoji [😂] has lost its crown, and a new king [🤍] is rising. The number of finalists for heart emoji increased this year, this can be said that hearts win the team championship this year. Among all the heart emojis, [❤️‍🔥] is a new emoji released in Emoji 13.1, 2021. As a new member of emoji family, I'm really surprised that it can occupies a position of this leaderboard. (This is somehow like Game of Thrones👑.)It is precisely because of people’s love of emoji and use emoji a lot on the Internet, there are more and more ways to spread emoji and rich its usages. Even emoji has its own anime movie and documentary! 🔺: Picture Character: An Emoji Documentary(left) & The Emoji Movie (right) Some celebrities make their own emoji characters, such as Kim Kardashian's emoji App [Kimoji app], ZAYN emoji app [ZAYNmoji] created by ZAYN; Marvel designed 128 emoji of their characters in a poster for their 10th Anniversary At the same time, there are some popular emoji challenges in twitter and tiktok like [Emoji Face Challenge], [Emoji Makeup Challenge], [Emoji Outfit Challenge]…… 💡: Imagination really runs wild! However, it is not enough! People even began to study emoji in many different angles. As a "global" language, emoji has been studied by some scholars from the perspective of linguistics. But some people think that emoji should be analyzed from a psychological aspect of the emotions it contains, which is emoji sentiment analysis, a project we are keep working on right now. Read more about Emoji Sentiment Analysis:《🔍We Launched Sentiment Analysis Of Emoji!》 After this technology matures, it is no doubt Emoji Sentiment Analysis can be used in marketing, advertising, psychology, medical and other fields to analyze people's emotions.Though World Emoji Day is not an official festival, it is still love by people all over the world.

Though Unicode 14.0 was just released in September, Jennifer Daniel, the chair of Emoji Subcommittee, submitted the document of new emojis to Unicode Technical Committee, which includes the ESC's recommendations for UTC approval of 21 draft emoji candidates for Unicode 15.0. These new emojis are derived from existing provisional emoji candidates and emoji that were previously added to larger lists. But pay attention💡, these emojis is only draft now, they may change their appearance in the future. Let's take a look 👀:The above are the draft emojis so far. Personally speaking, it really makes me excited that there are finally more colorful hearts released🌈! And jellyfish, wing, hyacinth... All of them are my favorite🙋‍! In addition, since there are significant challenges with flag proposals, the Emoji Subcommittee will strictly restrict the submission of flag emoji. If vendors want to make new flag emojis, the ESC encourages them to instead support inline images, like stickers or GIFs. Since the latest version of Emoji14.0 has not yet been added to the platform we familiar with, it is too early to discuss the releasing time of Unicode 15.0. You can see the newest emoji of 14.0 here: 《🤔New Emoji In 2022? Meet The Emoji14.0》. Still, if you want to submit your own emoji, please refer to our former blog post:《🐣How to make a new emoji?》.

❌Why You Can't See Some Emojis?

Emojis showing up as symbolsOne emoji showing up as a combination of two emojisSpecial caseConclusionSince the birth of emojis, people have been trying to reduce the limits of its use so that people all over the world 🌎 can enjoy its convenience and fun equally. Although this goal has been largely achieved, there is still a very annoying problem bothering users: the emojis people see on different devices are not always exactly the same. There are two different cases: one is that the same emoji looks different on diverse devices📱, the reason for which has been explained in this blog: 🎭Why Do Emojis Look Different On Different Platforms? The other one is what we are going to talk about here: emojis can't be displayed correctly. There are three cases where emojis are not displayed correctly, which we will explain in detail with corresponding solutions in this blog. The first case is the most common: emoji appear as a box/box with a cross/box with a question mark/blank (as shown in the image below). The form in which you see the emoji depends on the device you are using. 🔺：emoji showing up correctly 🆚 emoji showing up as symbols The reason for it starts with the nature of emoji. Emojis, like the Chinese characters🈴 and punctuation marks🔣, are a type of character that can be recognized by computers and are encoded in Unicode. Any device or app that wants to support the use of emoji will have to put them into its own system. In the Unicode Standard🔤, each emoji is assigned a code point, which is like their ID number. For example, the code point of emoji😣 is U+1F623. 🔺：Image Source：unicode.org When you send or recieve an emoji, the system of your device will find and display it by recognizing its code point🧐. And when the system encounters an unrecognized code point, it can't find the emoji corresponding to that code point, so it will have to display the emoji as one of the four symbols mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph. So when you find some emojis showing up as symboles, it means that the character set or emoji fonts in your device or the app you are using need to be updated. The updates for character set or emoji fonts are usually included in system version updates, so you just need to update the device or app you're using to the latest version🆕. However, major operating systems and apps do not release updates at the same time, for example, Apple's emoji updates are always much earlier than Android's🙁. So if you don't find a version that can be updated or if the emoji are still not displayed after the update, you will have to wait patiently for the next update. If the app is still not displaying emoji correctly after the update, you can use its web version (if it has one). For example, Twitter doesn't have a built-in emoji keyboard in its app📱, so if users want to send emojis on Twitter app, they can only choose the built-in emojis in their device. However, Twitter web version 💻 has a built-in emoji keyboard, so as long as it is updated, users can use new emojis on Twitter even if their phone/computer doesn't support them yet. You can still use them on Twitter.Many combinations that seem to be composed of two emojis actually represent one emoji, for example, the left emoji combinations in the picture below are actually an incorrect display of the emojis on the right. It is easy to distinguish this case. If you can select the two emojis separately with the mouse, they are two separate individuals; if you can't select them separately, they are actually a whole emoji. The reason for this case is the same as the first one 👆, so the solution is also updating your device's system. 💡: So why this issue happens? We mentioned earlier that each new emoji needs to be assigned a code point, but the expansion of emojis is infinite ♾, while the code points are limited. How can we save code points without affecting the expansion and update of emojis? So the Unicode Consortium decided to connect several existing emojis with ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) to form a new emoji, so that the new emoji does not need to be assigned new code point because it is a sequence formed by existing code points(as shown in the figure below). Recommended reading📚：What is Emoji ZWJ Sequence? The last case is a little special. When you use the same device to browse different websites, you may find that the same emoji is displayed in different websites with different appearance. This is not a problem caused by the system, but the emoji fonts. 🔺：From top to bottom are the emoji fonts designed by Microsoft, Apple and Google All operating systems need to use emoji fonts to display the emojis. Many systems have their own emoji fonts, such as Windows, MacOS, Chrom OS, etc. Usually web developers will implement these emoji fonts to their project so that different operating systems can use them properly. So the display of emojis is related to the emoji fonts embed in each website. But don't worry😎, this case is relatively rare.So that's all in this blog🔚. If you have encountered similar problems and you know other solutions to resolve them, please feel free to share them with us in the comments🗣! See you in the next blog! 👋

😮The Revelry Of Emoji Culture On China's Social Media Platforms

Emoji 'Memes' or 'Gags' of Chinese CultureThe "🙂" emoji is NOT a genuine smile!🐂, the Chinese version of 🐐?🥵 You are so hot, even burns me!🤺 Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!🍵 Be careful with green tea...Emoji Combos Surely Shine on Chinese Social Media🌶︎🐔 Not a good word, but...🍌🟢 Hey, relax!🍄😋⚰️ Watch out for those brightly-colored mushrooms!😅🫒🤏 Mind your own business!Custom Emoji Memes in Chinese Social MediaWhile emojis are a global phenomenon, each region has tailored their use to reflect its unique culture and sensibilities. For instance, 🥑 in the United States symbolizes being basic, 😇 on Japanese social media implies doomed, and 👍 in the Middle East is not taken positively but rather is seen as an insult. And China with its vast history and dynamic internet culture, has cultivated an emoji ecosystem unlike any other. Just dive with us into the depths of China's emoji culture, where emojis also can unfold a myriad of funny stories and emotions. Emojis in China aren't just used to enhance a message; they have Internet trends, puns, and even cultural nuances behind them, which transform them into unique symbols that can invoke laughter or deep emotion. And the journey into this digital folklore begins with identifying some classic trending emojis👇.This 🙂 little fellow is globally recognized as the "slightly smiling face." It's mostly used as elsewhere: to convey a mild sense of happiness or contentment. But be careful! More often, it serves as a mocking smile, dripping with irony, or as the "polite-but-maybe-not-so-happy" face. Sometimes, it even hints at anger! It's like tossing out a "wtf are you talking about?" or a sarcastic "REALLY?" when you chat on Chinese social media. 🔺"Sorry babe, got called into work tonight. Gotta cancel our date today😢." "🙂"-Don't be fooled by this smile; your girlfriend is on the brink of being upset. Better think of a way to comfort her RIGHT NOW!Did you know that in China, this sturdy beast isn't just about plowing fields? "牛" (niú) can translate to "awesome" or "impressive." It's similar to how 🐐 (GOAT) is used in English contexts, both pointing to the top-tier folks or the most outstanding actions. So, when someone's being totally cool, in China, they might just be "牛"! Besides, in Chinese social media, the 🐂 emoji isn't just riding solo. Combos like 🐂🍺, 🐂👍, and 🐂🐝 are popping up so frequently. Think of them as fun ways to say, "You're so bad ass" or "That's awesome!" So, if you see a friend drop a 🐂🍺 in response to your latest post, you've just earned some major props! 🔺In this context, 🐂🍺 conveys admiration for the Chinese team's gold medal achievement🥇.Feeling hot and bothered? Well, this flushed face isn't only about the summer heat. On platforms like Weibo or WeChat, it's also got a flirty twist! This flushed face can cheekily hint that you're "hot" (烧)👙 for someone, or that someone is so drop-dead gorgeous, they're practically setting you ablaze. So, if someone drops a 🥵 on your selfie, they might just be saying, "You're sooooo hot" in more ways than one. 🔺In this case, the 🥵 is a vulgar (even nsfw) joke, used to express some kind of intense emotion, and looks like oestrus and online indecency😅.Now, you'd think this fencing action would be all about sports, right? However, as one of the most famous emojis on Chinese social media, the 🤺 emoji has a special meaning that indicates retreat or get away (‘退🤺退🤺退🤺’). This viral trend originates from an amusing altercation between aPISS OFFstreet vendor and a car owner in 2022. the vendor lady, mid-argument, starts stomping her feet, wielding her hand like she's fencing, and fervently chanting: "退! 退! 退!" (Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!). This quirky act quickly became a hit among users, and an emoji inspired by the incident has since exploded in popularity across online platforms. 🔺It's a funny way to say 'PISS OFF!'.Tea is a significant cultural importance thing in China, and not just in the way you might think. Sure, to many, the 🍵 emoji might just mean a comforting cuppa. But in the world of Chinese digital contexts, it mostly indicates “绿茶(lǜchá)”, and often hints at someone who seems innocent on the surface but is deceptively cunning and manipulative behind the scenes, especially in romantic relationships. It's a bit like calling someone a "conniving bi*ch" in English, but with a side of tea! 🔺Jade (portrayed by Alexandra Daddario) from the TV series 'Why Women Kill', is definitely One of the classic "Green Tea".In the realm of social media, the emergence of emoji combos has unfolded a new layer of communication through. Emojis combined in sequence can create unique meanings, turning them into mini-narratives or expressions:A chili pepper and a chicken emoji side by side - you'd be forgiven for thinking it represents a spicy dish😋. But not quite! In the world of Chinese internet slang, it's a play on the word "垃圾" (laji), which translates to "trash" or "garbage". When combined these 2 emojis, it’s a cheeky way to call someone a "loser". So, the next time you see these emojis used in tandem, it might not be about food, but a playful (or not-so-playful) jab! You'll often spot it on social media or in online games, where users deploy it to call someone 'LOSER' or suggest they're terrible at the game🎮. 🔺Here are 2 angry netizens😰Another emoji wordplay is this 🍌🟢 combo! Just like the chili and chicken combo, here's another pair that's based on phonetics rather than direct representation. The combination of "蕉" (banana) and "绿" (green) sounds eerily similar to "焦虑" (jiāo lǜ), which means "anxious" in English. So, when netizens use the banana and green emojis together, they're not planning a fruity salad but instead signaling that they're feeling pretty anxious. 🔺This user's getting all jittery realizing half of 2023 has zoomed by—and honestly, same here🍌🟢😢!This emoji combo is the emoji version of a children's rhyme from China's Yunnan-Guizhou region: "红伞伞，白杆杆，吃完一起躺板板(Bright red top, with a stark white stem, eat it and you might never wake up again.)" It's a fun way to caution against the hazards of eating wild mushrooms, especially since a vivid red cap can indicate toxicity. While foraging for wild mushrooms is a culinary adventure in this region, netizens love to use these emojis as a playful reminder to tread carefully. This emoji combo pops up a lot between June and October. After all, it's prime time for wild mushrooms to thrive, but also the peak season for poisonous mushroom incidents😱. For the Chinese youth who love surfing the web, this combo definitely rings a bell. It's the emoji rendition of a popular meme: "Are you Okay? Have some liuliumei." This meme traces its roots back to a catchy ad line, famously endorsed by the celebrity Yang Mi, for sour plum candied fruit. The original line went something like, "If there is nothing to do, just have some sour plums." It was a lighthearted suggestion to munch on sour plums whenever one had a bit of downtime. But, you know how the internet works, right? The phrase evolved, now often thrown around as a way to say, "If you've got nothing better to do, just eat something and mind your own business!" It's cheekily used across social media platforms, usually to suggest that someone's making a fuss over nothing or poking their nose where it doesn't belong.One of the standout uses of emojis on several Chinese social media, is that the users will create their own emoji stickers by combining some of the emojis together, to express more delicate emotions or just for fun. This has given birth to countless viral custom stickers, amplifying personal conversations and enhancing the richness of online expression These emoji memes can be broadly categorized into three types: phonetic puns, modern idiomatic expressions, and original creations. Sometimes it's about meshing different emojis to craft a unique message, and other times it involves deconstructing and reassembling parts of emojis into a brand-new expression (think something along the lines of Google's Emoji Kitchen). 🔺Phonetic Puns: Emojis are mashed up together to represent words or phrases that sound similar. 🔺Modern Idiomatic Expressions: These are fresh takes on traditional or modern sayings or phrases, adapted for the digital age. 🔺Original Creations: These are entirely new expressions created from Chinese internet culture, usually based on real life. If you're itching to dip your toes into the fun world of emoji memes, swing by our Emoji Maker tool and craft your very own personalized emoji masterpiece! Dive in and let your digital creativity shine! 🎨🤩 Diving into China's emoji world is like exploring a digital amusement park! From trendy emojis that pop up on the internet, to those hilarious pun-combos that make you giggle, and the cool stickers that let everyone be a mini artist. It's clear: Chinese netizens sure know how to have fun with their keyboard. So, the next time you send an emoji, think of the fun stories it might tell on the other side of the world!

Please leave your thoughts in the comments🥰 We'd love to hear your opinions! This year, we didn't rank emojis solely based on the number of their uses. On the one hand, the varying degrees of emoji updates across different mobile prevent many emojis from being used normally 🙅, affecting their true usage numbers. On the other hand, we believe that measuring an emoji's popularity should not be based only on usage frequency, as the social trends, emotions, and cultures they reflect also matter. If you have any suggestions for this list, feel free to let us know. We hope to be back in 2024 with a richer and more interesting emoji list! 👋 The Most-Used Emojis of 2023 Most 2023 Emoji

©Does emoji have copyright? Who owns it?

What is Emoji?Does emoji have copyright?What if I want to use emoji commercially?Whenever someone wants to use emoji as material or product, there will be a question: Are emoji copyrighted? If the answer is yes, who owns emoji? To avoid related troubles, maybe you need to read this post carefully to decide whether should use emojis to make products.Emoji is not a picture, but a pictogram, a kind of character. “Emoji” is from this Japanese word—— 絵文字[emodʑi], 絵[e] means picture, painting, and 文字[modʑi] means character. Mobile phone's emoji was designed in 1999 by the engineer Kurita Hontaka (栗田穣崇) who worked for the NTT Docomo, a predominant mobile phone operator in Japan. The first version of emoji Include 176 symbols such as heart, mobile phone, smiley face, etc. Once these emojis were launched, they were sought after by the young generation of Japan, after that, these cute symbols can often be seen in online chat rooms or MSN messages at that time. So basically "Emoji" is a general term, within the umbrella term "EMOJI" there are many different kinds of emoji such as Noto color emoji, Memoji, Twemoji, etc.When Unicode Consortium decides to release a new emoji, vendors who receive the news will start to design the appearance of this emoji by themselves, such as Apple's emoji, Google's Noto color emoji, Twitter's Twemojis and other social platforms' emoji, etc. This is why emoji look different on each platform. 🔺: Emoji [cat] from different vendors The copyright issue about emoji is not that complicated. To put it simply, except for those open source emoji, essentially the copyright belongs to the vendor who designed this set of emoji. The Apple emoji we are most familiar with, for example. If you want to use their emoji to make some mugs to sell, since Apple emoji is not open source, you have to consult Apple's legal department to apply for emoji authorization, and so forth.Now you already knew that some emoji set is not commercially available (or really hard to get licence), but don’t worry, we can offer you 2 different solutions. Find an open source emoji set, read the detailed agreement regulations carefully, consult their respective license terms or consult the manufacturer to get the permission. The following is a list of known free or open source emoji manufacturers, But their scope of use and requirements are different (online use only, print, commercial, etc.), please be careful to distinguish. Noto Color Emoji (Google) Segoe UI Emoji (Microsoft) Twemoji (Twitter) FxEmojis (Mozilla) OpenMoji (OpenMoji) JoyPixels (JoyPixels) emojidex (emojidex) You can also create a set of emoji by yourself, this is the best way to use emoji totally legal free. However, make sure that this set of emoji doesn’t look like the emoji already exist, otherwise you may get yourself into trouble. Note💡: This blog post is just general information not legal advice. Emojiall cannot provide any legal advice to any online user. Our respond to your related questions is for reference only, please consult the corresponding manufacturer for the exact answer.

🔍Emoji Sentiment Analysis

Visual charts for emoji sentiment analysisWhat is Sentiment Analysis?The usage and prospect of Emoji Sentiment AnalysisRelated LinksApplication of sentiment analysis in emojiThe process of Emoji Sentiment AnalysisEmoji are full of emotion. It can enhance or adjust the tone and mood of the text, at the same time, the emotions expressed by emoji can be more obvious than words only. For example this emoji👿(angry face with horns). It is in the form of a devil character obviously, so there may have thoughts considered it is a "bad" emoji, like some evil thoughts in someone's head. But still, this kind of description is very abstract. Therefore, can we visualize the sentiment types and levels expressed by these emojis? The answer is "Yes" of course! We performed Natural Language Processing (NLP) on public samples of no less than 50 million tweets, and we use Text Sentiment Analysis (also called opinion mining) to associate the emoji sentiment with a set of values and visualize it. We spent a lot of time, energy and computing power to make our emoji sentiment analysis more scientific and rigorous, so that everyone can feel the charm and get better understanding of emoji.Data such as emoji sentiment value were calculated according to text sentiment analysis, which belongs to statistics and probability theory. After we solved the problem of algorithm and computing power, then encountered new difficulties: how to make users understand these professional data? A thought crosses our mind—— Hey! How about we visualize emoji sentiment values with some cool designs! 💡: We converted the calculated and analyzed data (left) into a chart that can be better understood by users (right), which can more intuitively show the emotional division of emoji; So let me explain the following chart, which depicts the results of emoji's sentiment tendency analysis in actual communication. 💡: 2 types of charts for emoji 👿's sentiment analysis, here we only analyze the chart above. The semicircle arc in the picture is divided into three colors, representing different emotional tendencies of emoji 👿. As we can see, the proportions of these three emotions are about 4:1:5, green and orange have similar proportions, which means this emoji is more a neutral one (surprise!!). The gray cursor is the Confidence Level, a statistical concept. Its position and width indicate: Expected Value ± Confidence. Expected Value: It is the weighted average of dispersive random variables of emoji sentiment value, used to express probability, c ∈ [−1， 0， +1]. Confidence: It is the parameter set of emoji sentiment value distribution, shows a reasonable error range in the form of positive and negative interval. And larger the number of corpus samples are, the smaller the error. Simply speaking, the closer cursor is to the left, the emotion of this emoji is more negative. On the contrary, the closer cursor is to the right, the more positive emotion expressed by this emoji. And the narrower the cursor is, the judgment of the emotion is more accurate. Now, can you understand our chart of emoji sentiment analysis?I believe that you have understood the data chart of emoji sentiment analysis, so let's talk about what is sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis is also called opinion mining. Technically speaking, sentiment analysis is part of natural language processing (NLP) research. Sentiment analysis methods are divided into two types: Machine learning and Dictionary-based methods. But with the development of deep learning technology, the use of this technology for sentiment analysis has become the mainstream. The sentiment analysis process includes data preprocessing, feature engineering and model training. Generally speaking, the data preprocessing stage mainly divides the text into words and removes stop words and punctuation. However, our sentiment analysis retains punctuation marks and stop words. In the feature engineering stage, we chose the word embedding representation (Word2Vec) proposed by the Google team in 2013, which is divided into the CBOW (continuous bag of words) model and the Skip-gram model. The model results are as follows: 💡：On the left is the CBOW model, on the right is the Skip-gram model CBOW is based on the context to predict the target word to train to obtain the word vector. As shown in the figure, W(t) is predicted based on four words W(t-2), W(t-1), W(t+1), W(t+2); And skip-gram is to predict the surrounding words according to the target word to train to obtain the word vector. As shown in the figure is to predict W(t-2),W(t-1),W(t+1),W(t+2) according to W(t). In the model prediction stage, we divide the data into two parts: The training set divided at a ratio of 5:1 and the test set and the training set are processed out of order.Sentiment analysis is widely used in marketing, advertising, psychology, medical and other fields. We decide to do emoji sentiment analysis is to help people get deeper understanding of emoji in actual social interaction, eliminate ambiguity and misunderstanding of emoji more effectively. For example, when you are chatting with your friend (or your crush) online, the other person may sometimes send you emojis that you don't quite understand. Actually, there are many situations like this, such as: What does 🤒 mean if someone replies to my photo? What does it mean when a girl sends 😊 to me? If my crush sends me ❤, is that a good sign? As we know, you cannot tell an emoji's accurate meaning, however, through our sentiment analysis, you may can analyze these emojis psychologically, like "she sent me a 💞, it is a positive sign, maybe I should ask her out" or "why my boyfriend sends me a 😒? It is kind of negative, is he mad at me?", something like this. With our Emoji Sentiment Analysis, I believe you can understand emoji more deeply. All in all, we have paid a lot for this emoji sentiment analysis project. Even though it is difficult, we still want to make it deeper. We are now analyzing emoji in different languages, the emotional gain effect of emoji on pure text, and several other advanced studies have also been considered. All these are to explore more usage of emoji, and hope you find emoji are interesting and informative. Emoji Sentiment Analysis Sentiment analysis is a comprehensive analysis method that combines deep learning and statistics. We have obtained the sentiment value of emoji after complex analysis and calculation of reams of data, and the complete emoji sentiment analysis process is as follows: Label social networking corpus Data preprocessing Divide the dataset: Training Set(80%), Testing Set(20%) Use LSTM neural network to build a model According to the performance of the model on the test set, adjust the hyperparameters to improve the generalization ability of the model Perform the same data preprocessing action on unlabeled data Use the trained sentiment prediction model to predict the sentiment tendency on unlabeled data We perform sentiment analysis on emoji, and use deep learning technology to train to get an emoji text sentiment classifier. For the output layer of the classifier, we choose the sigmoid function to activate, and project the output layer results into the interval of 0-1. The closer the text is to 0, the more negative it is, and the closer it is to 1, the more positive it is. The sigmoid function formula is: F(x)=1/(1+e-x) We use a large sample data of 50 million tweets containing emoji as an analysis corpus, then put the corpus need to be analyzed into the trained sentiment classifier for sentiment prediction. Finally, the results of sentiment prediction by the classifier are divided into three types: negative, neutral and positive. The classification criteria are: Anyway, it is difficult, but we made it!!

📣New 3D Emoji In Windows11, Microsoft's Big Move!!

On World Emoji Day in 2021, Microsoft Design Team announced that they redesigned Microsoft emoji in a more fluent and 3D way to "support the new landscape of work". The update this time is rather a big change to Microsoft emoji. As you can see, the previous emoji are designed in 2D with stroke. But this time, they become 3D (somehow like clay art) and make most of their emoji animated. At the same time, Microsoft released 5 concept sketches to show a new working style during COVID-19, which can "signal our fresh perspective on work, expression, and the spaces in between." 🔺From left to right: multi-tasking, you're on mute, no camera day, parenting-while-working, the pajama suit. What is more, in this redesign, the team replace the paperclip emoji 📎 in a familiar face: Clippy! (Long time no see!) 💡: Clippy, also called Clippit, was a simplistic virtual assistant who offered advice to Microsoft Office users, from 1997 and until the mid-2000s. You can now use these emoji on Microsoft's social learning video platform Flipgrid and expected to be released to Microsoft products (Windows 11) over the coming year. An Emoji For Your Thoughts

💩Crazy For Poop! I Mean The Happy Poo Face Emoji

Why cartoon poop is in this shape?The history and A Cruel fact of poop emojiSummaryReferencesWhen we talk about poop, I mean pile of poo emoji💩, have you ever wondered why cartoon poop is in this particular shape? And do you want to know how this weird emoji was made? (I'd say Yes!!) So, I did some research of this emoji [💩], and the result is really make me surprised (and kind of gross🤢). In manga or graffiti, poop always looks like in a coiled pyramid-shape, even though you can hardly see this shape in reality. Through investigation, I found that this shape may has multiple origins that were born around the world. However, there are two major origins which from Europe and Japan. According to Yakult's 2006 "Toilet Calendar”, it is said that this specific shape of 💩 was originated from the parody of a coiled snake in the Edo period (1603 ~ 1867). There is also a theory said that in Kmakura period (1185 ~ 1333), a painting called “Gaki-Zoushi (餓鬼草紙)” had already painted poop in coiled shape. 🔺 Part of the painting of the Hungry Ghosts Scroll In the Europe, the coiled shape seems also to be established as a symbolic form of poop, as in Japan. Furthermore, a French printmaker named Bernard Picart (1673-1763) had this painting called The Perfumer, which also had coiled poop. 💡 Do you know perfumes may contain trace amounts of fecal odor components??? Ewww🤢 So these are the 2 possible origins of the classic poop shape. (It is really a torture to write this part…)In Japan, the poop shape was established nationwide through a pink poop character called "Unchi-kun (Poop-Boy)", which was created by Akira Toriyama's in his well-known manga "Dr. Slump". Emoji first appeared in Japan, so there is definitely a connection between "Unchi-kun" and the poop emoji. 🔺 Dr.Slump's main character: Arale Norimaki, and Unchi-kun This smiling and steaming pile of poop emoji first showed in the emoji set for the J-Phone (now known as SoftBank Mobile) released in 1997, and it appears like this [ ]. Since 2010, emoji standardized by Unicode, the poop emoji had its own code [U+1F4A9]. And with the development of each vendor, the poop emoji shows some different in each platform, but still all of them have the same coiled shape. 🔺 Which one do you like? Here I'm going to bring you some shocked and gross secret about this emoji. Do you know that before the iOS 9.1, Apple's poop emoji 💩 was the same swirl that was used on the cone of ice cream 🍦 ?! Raymond Sepulveda, one of the emoji designer worked in Apple, designed 💩 first, then copy pasted it on to the cone and remove its eyes and mouth, change it to white... The birth of our favorite ice cream emoji! Thank god Apple changed its ice cream emoji after iOS 10.2, or I may feel awkward when I use Soft Ice Cream emoji...... That's all about the poop emoji. Though it has some bad meaning, people still "so passionate about the smiling poop emoji", and it is already become one of the most popular emoji. People make poop emoji cupcakes🧁, poop emoji blanket or T-shirt👕, even a couple transformed a termite mound in Western Australia into a smiling poop emoji!! Isn't this crazy? 🔺 It is located on the edge of the North West Coastal Highway in the Pilbara.

Some Basic Information About🕴The Funny Origin And Design Concept Of🕴How People Use 🕴 On Social MediaReferencesLevitating businessman, MIBSL, the jumping rude boy, hovering man, man in black…… This emoji🕴has many names you may heard or not. Besides, there are too many people asking us 'why this weird emoji even exists?'… Well, I think maybe it is time to introduce this emoji to everyone. 🔺emoji🕴from various platforms The official name of emoji 🕴 is 'Person in suit levitating'. It was released on June 16, 2014 as Unicode version 7.0, and belongs to sub-category 'person-activity' It is not a commonly used emoji, in this year's most used emoji ranking,🕴is at Rank 838, which is in the middle level and is not very conspicuous. Even you use emojis almost every day, you may never pay attention to this little guy. 🔺 🖼 CREDIT: Unicode.org However, even if you never use it once, it is undeniable that the story behind it is very curious.The origin of 🕴can be traced back to 1990's. At the time, Microsoft was working on Internet Explorer 4.0, and the system included a font called Webdings, you can see it as a black & white symbol set designed by Microsoft. And this weird floating suitman was designed by Vincent Connare, an American type designer and former Microsoft employee. It was inspired by Walt Jabsco, the fictional character which based on a photograph of Peter Tosh, a reggae musician and a former member of the Wailers, and had become a central artwork to 2 Tone Records. If you are a ska fan, you definitely should use this emoji! 🔺 Peter Tosh (right) 🆚 Walt Jabsco 🆚 levitating businessman emoji (iOS version) According to the Newsweek's interview to Connare, he said—— "I had a Specials Japanese import LP, and I saw one of the keywords was 'jump' so thought it would be good to make a jumping, pogoing man", "The style of the 2 Tone guy was black on white, and it was graphic, so it was easy to make something like it into a font". In addition, since 🕴was designed by Microsoft in 90's, it has gone through a series of design changes (here we only discuss Microsoft's design). 🔺In each update, 🕴will have varying degrees of design changes, from black and white to color emoji, color changes for clothing, and color changes for ties, etc.Although you may not often use this levitating businessman, it can be observed on internet occasionally. From our new Tag Cloud and Relation Chart analyzed by pure AI algorithm, you can see how netizen use 🕴 on social media.🔺The Tag Cloud and Relation Chart of 🕴 analyzed by pure AI algorithm Except for the usages above, just like ska lovers, fans in certain fields prefer to use this emoji to refer to a specific person, movie or TV series. It is also a great way to spread this rarely used emoji🕴. 🔺As for you, is this emoji stands for Men in Black, Michael Jackson, or the Grim Reaper from Guardian: The Lonely and Great God? From a black & white symbol to an official emoji that was added in Unicode 7.0 in 2014, this process has gone through about 14 years. It is a little bit unfair that 🕴 still not be well known. Personally speaking, this funny plus a little bit weird and creepy emoji is one of my favorite emoji, I hope more people knew about the background of 🕴 and even became interested in it.

🐯Happy Year Of The Tiger！Let's Talk About The Emojis For Chinese New Year

Emojis related to Chinese New Year customsChinese ZodiacConclusionReferenceRed Envelope🧧Dumpling🥟Firecracker🧨Lantern🏮Another new year! As the Chinese New Year approaches, Emojiall is here to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year!!!🎇🧨🍻 Chinese New Year, also called Spring Festival, is an important festival for Chinese people 🇨🇳 and the grandest of all Chinese festivals. The Chinese New Year has a long history and brings together the essence of many traditional Chinese cultures, which is an essential part of the distinctive Chinese culture🔴. This is also reflected in the emojis, as several of the emojis that represent Chinese characteristics are related to the Chinese New Year.It is a red paper packet used to contain the lucky money. Many people also use this emoji directly to refer to the luckey money. Giving luckey money is one of the traditional customs of Chinese New Year and is also a favorite custom of children because it is the only time in the year they have the opportunity to "get rich"💰. The elders will give the luckey money to the children in red envelopes to ward off evil spirits and bless them with a peaceful year. In the design of many platforms, the red envelope have a chinese character on it. It indicates good fortune, good luck, etc., which can enhance the blessing effect of the red envelope. 🔺：Red Envelope emoji on different platforms The real red envelopes can also be printed on some other chinese characters or patterns, but they all express pretty much the same meaning of blessing. Eating dumplings is also one of the special customs of Chinese New Year. Dumplings are a traditional Chinese delicacy, usually made of flour, vegetables🥬 and meat🥩. It is said that the custom of eating dumplings at Chinese New Year has been around since ancient times in China, and it signifies honoring the past and welcoming the new year. Nowadays, due to the increasing standard of living, dumplings are not only a New Year's food. In northern China, where food made of flour is preferred, dumplings are often served at the dinner table on normal days. It is not only a special food for Chinese New Year, but also a symbol of Chinese culture.Playing firecrackers during the Spring Festival have had a history of more than two thousand years. Legend has it that in ancient times, at the end of each year, a vicious beast called the "New Year Beast"👹 would come out to attack humans, in order to drive away its attack, people would set off firecrackers, so playing firecrackers has been passed down to become a Chinese New Year custom. Today no one has long been superstitious about this legend, and in view of environment 🌏️ and noise problems, many places in China have banned firecrackers, but in the hearts of many people, when they were young, playing firecrackers with their friends is still one of the happiest entertainment activities during the New Year. !str 🔺：（(Left) Firecrackers with auspicious designs | (Right) Firecrackers being set off Red lanterns are a traditional Chinese holiday item. During major festivals like Chinese New Year, red lanterns are hung in streets, parks, buildings 🏘️ and even homes, which can foil the lively atmosphere of the festival. In addition, there are some emojis that are not directly related to Chinese New Year, but are commonly used by people during Chinese New Year. If you need them, you can click on this link on the right🧐: Spring FestivalThese emojis in the picture below are also related to Chinese New Year, but some people may not know it. 🔺：There are several animals that have more than one corresponding emoji These twelve animals represnt the Chinese Zodiac. In China, in addition to numbers, people also use the Chinese zodiac to record the year. Each year corresponds to a Chinese zodiac symbol, which is cycled in the order of the picture, twelve times for a cycle. For example, last year was the Year of the Ox🐮, this year is the Year of the Tiger🐯, and the next year will be the Year of the Rabbit🐇. The arrival of Chinese New Year symbolizes the alternation of the two Chinese zodiac🔄, therefore, in the minds of many Chinese people, the Chinese New Year is more representative of saying goodbye to the past year and welcoming the new one than the New Year. As China's influence grows internationally, the Year of the Zodiac is now becoming more and more well-known. This year, Twitter has also designed an exclusive hashtag symbol for the Year of the Tiger, if you tweet the hashtags related to Chinese New Year, such as #ChineseNewYear, #LunarNewYear, #YearOfTheTiger, a little tiger 🐯 symbol will automatically appear behind the hashtag. It is super cute! (The tiger will only appear after these hashtags and cannot be copied and used elsewhere) In fact, the Chinese New Year customs are far more than these. Hope to see more Chinese special emojis in the emoji list someday in the future! Finally, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year once again🐅!

🆕Submit New Emojis In 2022, Emoji 16.0 Is Waiting For You!

Some information updates about Flag Emoji SubmissionSummaryReferencesThe latest Unicode version 16.0 is open for submissions from April 4, 2022, through July 31. If you want to create your own emoji and use it on your devices, now is the best time! You need to make a form for your emoji proposals and send it to Unicode Consortium. The submission details can refer to our former blog post: 🐣How To Make A New Emoji? However, it has been a while since the last related blog post, there is a big decision about flag emojis submission that you may be interested in.Based on the blog post of Jennifer Daniel (Emoji Subcommittee chairperson), flag emoji have great challenges due to their open-ended nature, infrequent use, and burden on implementations. So, Unicode Consortium decided there would no longer accept proposals for flags in the future. However, this is divided into 2 cases: geographical flags and non-geographical flags (such as pride flags, language flags, etc.)!str_1Geographical flags: Though 'Flags' is now the largest category, it's not used much, and the usage of the country flag and subdivision flag is even less so.!str_2 If you want to submit a new geographical flag, it is not impossible but extremely difficult. This kind of flag emoji submission needs to be considered from many angles to avoid looking like favoritism to a specific region. To get more information about country flag emojis, you can refer to our blog post to get more information about country flag emojis: 🚩Why Country Flag Emojis Only Show Two-Letter Codes On Windows? !str_1Non-geographical flags: Like pride flags, color-based flags, Olympic flag, language flags, etc. The Unicode Consortium's decision to no longer add this kind of new flag emoji.!str_2 However, this maybe seems unfair. Why there be a rainbow flag, transgender flag, but now cannot submit new flags? What if there are identity groups that need their flags in the future? Not only pride flags, what if there are other flag emojis needs in the future? 🖼️ credit: Wikipedia - Pride flag No worry, the Unicode Consortium of course considered this situation! Instead of submitting new flag emojis, they recommend using heart emojis❤️ to indicate a specific flag. For example, genderqueer pride flag 💜🤍💚, nonbinary pride flag 💛🤍💜🖤; There are some people already found the 'real' usage of heart emojis, using color hearts combination to represent country. What's more, there will be more new heart emoji colors in the future, which they believe can satisfy the needs for flag color variations to some extent. 🔺There are already 3 new colored heart emojis that will be added in Unicode 15.0.Anyway, you cannot submit a new flag emoji unless the Unicode is open for application. However, it is still the best time to submit your own non-flag emoji idea💡! But it should be reminded that when making a new emoji, the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee (ESC) need to take lots of aspects into consideration, such as usage frequency, trade-offs with other choices, font file size, the burden on developers/users, etc., so it is impossible to make anything emojified🚫, even need to reduce the number of emoji they encode in any given year. This means you should choose your idea carefully to increase the possibility of acceptance. We may also try to submit some emojis in the future🙋‍. If you have any wonderful thoughts, leave your comment below💭👇, and maybe the next version update will have your emoji!!str_1Unicode now accepting proposals for Emoji 16.0!str_2 !str_1The Past and Future of Flag Emoji!str_2 !str_1Guidelines for Submitting Unicode® Emoji Proposals!str_2 !str_1How to Submit Proposal Documents!str_2

❤The Heart Shape: A Love-Expressed Symbol And Its Evolution Through The Times

The history of the heart shapeThe history of the heart emojiThe development of the heart shapeReferencesHeart shape❤, why this special shape can express love? Does it have anything to do with the human heart🫀? Do you know the history of the heart emoji, and its design changes in each platform?...... Speaking of the love-related emoji, the red heart emoji can be said the most widely used emoji to express this emotion and the most recognized symbol in modern digital communication. As the most classic heart emoji, you can use this emoji to show your straightforward love, affection or support to the one you care about. It is used widely between romantic relationship💏, family👪 and friends🧑‍🤝‍🧑. So, on this Valentine, let's talk about this love-expressed shape and its emoji version!There are many possible origins of the heart shape: some people believed that the shape was used to represent the fruit of the silphium, or the heart shape was inspired by a human's buttock. As early as the Indus Valley civilization, a gold heart-shaped pendant originating from there has been discovered. But at that time, this special shape did not stand for human 'heart', but represented the leaves of ivy, which symbolized fidelity. With time passing by, the heart symbol as we know it today has developed in medieval art and literature, where it was used to represent the seat of the emotions and the soul. The heart shape was further popularized during the Renaissance, when it became a common element in paintings and literature. During this time, the symbol was used to express love and affection in a variety of contexts, from romantic love to familial love, and even to express love for God and the saints. 🔺Augustine of Hippo holding a heart in his hand which is set alight by a ray emanating from divine Truth (Veritas), painting by Philippe de Champaigne, c. 1650.As for the heart emoji we are familiar with, its origins can be traced back to the early days of digital communication and its evolution reflects the changing landscape of how people communicate and express themselves online. The first heart symbol was created as part of the standardized set of digital characters known as Unicode. The Unicode Consortium is an organization that sets standards for text encoding, and in 1993 it released version 1.1 of the Unicode Standard, which included the first heart symbol (❤️). In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the heart symbol started to appear in the form of [

🫣Directional Changes Of Emoji: A New Era Of Emoji Expression With Unicode15.1

Six New EmojisThe directional changes of some emojisThe changes of family-related emojisWhen can we use Emoji15.1？ConclusionBack in the autumn of last year, the Unicode Consortium announced an update plan for new emojis: Unicode 16.0, originally scheduled for release in September 2023, would be delayed⏸️, and instead, Unicode 15.1 would be released, with the upcoming emoji version being designated as Emoji 15.1. As mentioned by Jennifer Daniel, the Chairperson of the Emoji Subcommittee, in her newsletter Did someone say emoji?, all of the updated emojis in Emoji 15.1 will be ZWJ sequences created by existing emojis. (Recommended reading: What are ZWJ sequences?） There are three noteworthy highlights of this update: 1⃣ The addition of six new emojis 2⃣ The directional changes of some emojis 3⃣ The changes of family-related emojis.First, let's take a look at the six new faces in Emoji 15.1. From left to right, they are: Lime, Brown Mushroom, Broken Chain, Head Shaking Vertically, Head Shaking Horizontally, Phoenix Bird. 🔺：Sample design provided by Jennifer Daniel The picture above is a sample design provided by Jennifer. Their appearance may be subject to further modifications before the final release, but it will not be significantly different from what is shown now. As we mentioned earlier, these six emojis will be ZWJ sequences formed by existing emojis: Lime=🍋+🟩 Brown Mushroom=🍄+🟫 Broken Chain=🔗+💥 Head Shaking Vertically=🙂+↕️ Head Shaking Horizontally=🙂+↔️ Phoenix Bird=🐦️+🔥 In the many years of development of emojis, the Unicode Consortium has been continuously improving them to better meet user needs, such as adding skin tone, hair color🦰 and gender♂️♀️ options to emojis. This year, the Unicode Consortium is going to add another useful feature to emojis: changing the direction of an emoji↔. 🔺：Most of the characters, animals, vehicles emojis are facing right As shown in the above image, emojis that are not facing directly forward have typically been oriented to the right. However, with the update to Emoji 15.1, users will be able to choose whether an emoji faces left or right. This feature opens up new possibilities♾️ for the meaning and usage of emojis, particularly in creating emoji combinations. For example, by combining an emoji of a person running to the left and an emoji of a person running to the right, an emoji combination meaning "meeting" could be created. This is just a simple example. When Emoji15.1 is officially released, I believe the wisdom and creativity of users will dig the fun of this feature to the extreme🤹‍. In fact, there has long been high demand among the public for the feature to change the color of emojis. On social media, it is common to see many users asking for white cat emoji, green grape emoji, black rose emoji, etc. Since changing the direction of emojis is about to become a reality, does it mean that it is not impossible to change the color of emoji in the future? I hope this day will come soon! (Unicode Consortium, please🗣!)Jennifer also mentioned about the changes in family-related emojis: Thanks to the efforts of the Unicode Consortium over the years, the current family-related emojis look quite comprehensive. They consider various family situations such as single-parent families, two-parent families, one-child families, multiple children families, and even same-gendered parents families. 🔺：There are currently 26 emojis for "Family" However, since the boundaries of the family concept are not so clear, there are still many forms of families that these emojis cannot cover, such as multi-generational families👵👩👧, families with pets👨👩🐕, and multi-racial families👨🏾👩🏼, etc. Therefore, the Emoji Subcommittee has decided to redesign family-related emojis and introduce four sequences in Emoji 15.1: 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒Family: Adult, Adult, Child, Child 🧑‍🧒‍🧒Family: Adult, Child, Child 🧑‍🧑‍🧒Family: Adult, Adult, Child 🧑‍🧒Family: Adult, Child These four sequences are non-gender-specifying family emojis, so their application will be more versatile and will be able to meet the needs of more users and bring them more personalized experiences.Finally, let's talk about the question you all care about the most: When can we use Emoji15.1❓ First of all, it can be confirmed that it will be a long time before we see Emoji 15.1, because currently most platforms still cannot support Emoji 15.0🫢. Apple just released the official version of iOS 16.4 on March 28th, providing support for Emoji 15.0. Apart from Apple, only Google, Samsung, and Facebook have also provided the support for Emoji 15.0. 🔺：Apple's Emoji15.0 design According to the situation in previous years, the release of new emoji version and its update on devices usually have a gap of about half year. Therefore, it is expected that after the release of Emoji 15.1 in September this year, major emoji vendors will gradually provide support for it in the spring of 2024.Through this update, we can see that the Unicode Consortium has a comprehensive consideration for the future development of emoji and has been working hard to solve various problems in the use and innovation of emoji. Although Emoji 15.1 will not include too many new emojis, it will have a significant impact on improving user experience. Let's look forward🔭 to a more advanced future of emojis!

🧐New Discovery: Emojis Are The Game-Changer For AI-Generated Images

Generated images with descriptions (Ordinary)Generated images with descriptions (Special)Emoji Combinations and MemesBesides convenience and accuracy, what are the other advantages and limitations of using emojis as prompts? Emojis are a crucial instrument for expressing emotions nowadays, while AI drawing techniques have become a popular trend. If we combine them, we will be able to generate various interesting and creative images more conveniently and accurately. This article will present how to use Emojis as Prompts for AI drawing tools to produce images, explore the advantages and limitations of this method, and provide you with suggestions on how to combine them for better utilization of these tools and techniques. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, AI drawing has become a popular application. By inputting information such as text, sound, and images, AI drawing technology can produce realistic or abstract images. However, to generate high-quality images, it is necessary to provide the AI drawing tools with some complex, refined, and precise prompts to convey our intentions. To communicate with the machine better, we can use emojis as the prompts for AI drawing tools to inform the machine of our intent in a more accurate and effective way, thereby simplifying and accelerating this process. Generating images using emojis in AI drawing tools such as Midjourney or Stable Diffusion is effortless. Simply by inputting one or more emojis in the designated box, we can easily create imaginative images that relate to the given emojis. Input：👩‍🚀(Woman Astronaut). An image was generated depicting a girl wearing an oxygen mask landing on a planet. Behind her, there was a colorful planet hovering in the deep and mysterious starry sky, creating a resplendent and imaginative scene. Input: 👸(Princess). AI produced a fairytale-style princess sitting on an ornate, carved throne, adorned in a shimmering and extravagant gown, resembling a fairy descending to the mortal world. She elegantly crossed her legs, with an expression of solemnity and nobility. Input: 👸(Princess)🤴(Prince). After adding a 🤴 to the input, AI generated a scene of the princess and the prince walking hand in hand in the royal palace, both dressed in opulent attire. Their tender gaze and gentle touch conveyed the romantic emotions between them. Input: 👸(Princess)🤴(Prince)🤳(Selfie). This time we added a 🤳 to the input, then AI generated an image of the princess and prince taking a selfie together. They are naturally leaning towards each other, and the love and happiness between them are almost overflowing from the picture.In addition to the regular emojis, we have found that some special emoji combinations can be used to produce more interesting images, which can mix the elements represented by the emojis in the combination. Input👧🐇. Based on this emoji combination, AI has magically produced an image of a bunny girl, rather than a girl and a bunny. The girl's gaze is resolute, and her body exudes a powerful aura, as if she is the rabbit-eared warrior guarding this mysterious world. The cute and dreamy image is full of fairytale atmosphere. Input👧🤖. This input results in the creation of a female robot, rather than a girl and a robot. We also added English prompts related to the three perspectives (from side, multiple views, from behind) to the input, so the image generated showcases the sleek lines of the female robot from various angles, and the rear view offers a glimpse into the intricate construction of the robot. The whole design portraies a beautiful vision of the emotional fusion between robots and humans. Input🍬🌈. The AI has produced an image of rainbow candies, rather than simply candies + rainbows. There are a total of seven different colored jellybeans, each of which is sparkling and translucent with a bright luster, evoking a sense of delectable temptation. Input👉🥺👈 (a popular emoji combination originated in TIKTOK, which means shyness). A lovely girl was created. Her face is flushed, her fingers point to the heel of her mouth, while her eyes look at the fingertips. The image accurately conveys the girl's shy and uneasy feeling. Another image generated by inputting👉🥺👈 Input👁️👄👁️(A popular emoji combination used to express shock). This image is a close-up of a girl's face. She maybe have heard some surprising news or seen some incredible sight, her mouth is slightly open and her eyes are wide open, conveying a strong sense of shock. What surprised us is that the AI drawing tools are even capable of understanding the meaning behind some emoji combinations and memes.These generated images based on emojis are both realistic and abstract, both heartwarming and science-fictional, showcasing the immense potential and endless possibilities of Emoji+AI drawing. In the future, with the advancement of technology and optimization of algorithms, we believe that Emoji+AI drawing will become a widely-known and convenient creative medium, bringing us more inspiration and joy.Most AI drawing tools support using emojis as input, but they usually don't support languages other than English. This is where emojis can be used as a way to communicate across languages, allowing AI drawing tools to better understand and receive the information you convey. Of course, Emoji+AI drawing also has some limitations. Because the input is only one or several simple emojis, sometimes the generated image may can't totally understand the meaning of the input. In addition, due to the limited algorithms and training data of AI drawing, some tools and models may have insufficient understanding of emojis, which may result in the production of repetitive, low-quality, or unrealistic images. However, this does not prevent us from using this method to stimulate our imagination and creativity and generate interesting images. Solutions: 1. Clearly express your intention: Choose more appropriate emojis to reduce the possibility of misunderstanding. 2. Diverse tools and models: To get better results, we can try to use different tools and models and even combine them with other techniques to make improvements. 3. Manual intervention and adjustment: Before generating the image, we can try to improve the prompts, and we can also adjust the parameters and setting options to improve the quality of the image. In a word, Emoji+AI drawing is a fun and innovative way to generate images and dramatically reduce the difficulty of human-machine dialogue.. Whether you are a designer, artist or enthusiast, you can try to use this method to create all kinds of interesting and creative images. If you know more interesting prompts (emoji combinations and memes), you can share them with us in the comments! 💡Unless specifically stated, the prompts used in this article are exclusively in the form of emojis. 🧰The images in this article are created using open-source AI drawing tools: Stable Diffusion + Uenomigi_DB Model

🆕What's New About EMOJI In Huawei's Annual Developer Conference?

The Brand New Emoji Family?Huawei Localizes Emojis with Chinese Cultural Elements and Hidden Surprises?The special September 15thEverything is Huawei relatedBringing Chinese Transport History to EmojiOther China related emoji designsNew Phone Theme With New Emojis!References Huawei dropped its latest mobile operating system HarmonyOS 4.0 at its annual Developer Conference this month, which is totally a game-changing update to their OS. We're talking a fresh notification center, a pumped-up AI upgrade for the Xiao Yi voice assistant, and beefed-up app risk controls... And this time, emojis surely got some of the spotlight too✨! On the conference, Huawei showcased new and revamped design of emojis, spicing up classics and adding some fun new twists. Just can't wait to tell you all my discover in Huawei's new emojis! In this conference, Huawei unveiled China's first-ever emoji set that fully covers all Unicode codepoints standards. This is can be called a milestone in Chinese emoji history! After all, up to this point, pretty much all local Chinese device brands (think Xiaomi, OPPO, Meizu, and the like) have been rocking Google's noto color emoji designs, rather than sporting their own. And, let's be real, there were some emoji gaps, not all emojis were usable in Chinese brand devices🤷‍♂️. With the update this time, Huawei's rolled out a more than 1,800 new emoji designs. Compared to other platforms like Apple, Google, or Microsoft, Huawei's emojis rock a playful, exaggerated, and slightly 3D style. They're all about capturing those nuanced feelings. 🔺: Comparison between Huawei's design and emoji designs on other vendors Just pop open Huawei's built-in XiaoYi keyboard, or use Changlian (a service that supports high-definition video and audio calls between Huawei devices, such as phones, tablets, smart screens, speakers, etc.), and let your emojis do the subtle emotional talking😉.As a tech giant in China, Huawei has sprinkled some Chinese cultural flavors and fun Easter eggs related to their products in their emoji designs. Take the 🍜steaming bowl (or say the noodle) emoji for example, according to Zhiyan Yang, the UI Design Director of Huawei introduced at the conference, users can choose the thickness of the boodle in the bowl, just like the usual choices you get in China!! So, as someone from China, I think I should maybe try to spot all these China-centric cool Easter eggs in Huawei's emojis. Here are the fun surprises I've stumbled upon so far🕵️‍♂️:The date September 15th keeps popping up in various emojis, from credit cards and tickets to calendars. Actually, it is the date that Huawei was founded! But wait, there's more to that date. Well, on September 15th, 2020, the US's new ban on Huawei officially kicked in. This meant that the US and companies using US tech would stop serving up semiconductor chips and other parts to Huawei. What a coincidence🤫!For emojis like phone📱, computer💻, and watch⌚, the set is totally based on designs from Huawei's own lineup. Take the 🤳 selfie emoji, for instance. That phone in hand? It's modeled after one of Huawei's star products, the Mate40 series. And the watch emoji? Totally giving off Huawei Watch3 Pro vibes. 🔺 Whether it's a phone, laptop, mouse or printer, it's like having a mini virtual Huawei showroom right at your fingertips! 🔺 Some people said that the car emoji🚗 is may inspired by the AITO Wenjie M5, a snazzy high-performance luxury SUV, co-designed by Cyrus Auto and Huawei. What do you think❓Speaking of transportation, emojis like the subway🚇, train🚆, high-speed rail🚝, and airplane✈ in this set aren't just pulled from thin air. They're modeled after real, iconic Chinese transport with both historical and commemorative significance. Think the classic green-skinned trains, and the famous Fuxing and Hexie trains that familiar to every Chinese! Likewise, the rocket🚀, satellite🛰, and the astronaut emoji👨‍🚀 designs hold a special place in Chinese history. It's a nod to that unforgettable day when China soared into space! Looking back at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, that was China's debut as an Olympic host. The medal designs from then, which featured "gold inlaid with jade, silver inlaid with jade, and bronze inlaid with jade", have also made a thing in Huawei's emoji world this time🥇🥈🥉. And that's not all! The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and Huangshan's iconic Welcoming Pine, all these China-centric landmarks and symbols have found their home in Huawei's emoji lineup too. 🔺 The designs are all very detailed and surprising😮 🔺Can you find more China culture-related emojis?The world of emojis is like a treasure hunt, and with Huawei's rich cultural influences, who knows what other delightful Easter eggs are tucked away? Personally, I believe there are more of them, just keep those emoji-sleuthing glasses on and try to find them all out🔍!! (BTW...EmojiAll's emoji sets are also packed with delightful designs and surprises.

📱Emoji 15.1 Update: 118 New Emojis And More Direction Options In 2023

Six New ConceptsCategory: Smileys & EmotionCategory: Animals & NatureCategory: Food & DrinkCategory: ObjectsFour gender-neutral family emoji sequencesCategory: People & Body-person symbol108 Directional Versions of Six People EmojisCategory: People & Body-person activityEmoji15.1 Update TimeReferences The annual emoji update has arrived as scheduled. On September 6th, the Unicode Consortium officially released the Emoji 15.1 update. The Emoji 15.1 includes 118 new emojis, of which 6 represents new concepts that have not appeared on the current emoji keyboard, 4 are new sequences proposed to optimize the existing 26 family-related emojis, 108 are direction-specifying versions of these six people emojis: 🚶🧎🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦼🧑‍🦽🏃. All the emojis in Emoji 15.1 are ZWJ sequences - that is, sequences formed by combining multiple emojis with the ZERO WIDTH JOINER. In other words, all the new emojis are created from pre-existing emojis. Currently, detailed information such as the meaning, usage, and codepoint of each new emoji in Emoji 15.1 has been updated on EmojiAll. Click on the CLDR Short Name of each emoji in the chart below to enter their details page for viewing. 💡：The sample images of each emoji are provided by the Unicode Consortium. What the new emojis will look like on our phones depends on the design of each platform.

Although the current family emojis encompass a variety of family forms, each design is visually too restrictive, with no ability to change the skin color, gender and age of the characters. For example, none of the 26 emojis can perfectly represent a family of four consisting of grandfather, father, mother, and son. Therefore, in order to give users more choices when representing their family structures, the Emoji Subcommittee (ESC) proposed designing these four sequences as character silhouettes without any specific appearance features, similar to 👥 or 🫂, to simplify and replace the current 26 family emojis. CLDR Short Name Proposal Sample Image Family：Adult, Adult, Child L2/23‑029 Family：Adult, Adult, Child, Child L2/23‑029 Family：Adult, Child L2/23‑029 Family：Adult, Child, Child L2/23‑029 Providing more direction options for emojis is a significant reform by the Unicode Consortium this year. This update only provides direction-specifying versions for 🚶🧎🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦼🧑‍🦽🏃, but we believe that this change will be applied to more and more emojis in the future.

It's still too early to see them on mobile phones. Based on the update time of major platforms in previous years, they will start adding this batch of emojis to their products from October 2023. Here is an approximate timeline: The Unicode Consortium has used combinations of existing emojis to add new ones for the third time with Emoji 15.1, following Emoji 12.1 in 2019 and Emoji 13.1 in 2020.This method avoids introducing new code points, thereby saving code space. However, in Emoji 16.0, which will be launched in September 2024, the Unicode Consortium will start creating entirely new emojis based on user proposals. We believe there will be more interesting emojis by then! Emoji Proposals, v15.1 Emoji Recently Added, v15.1 Unicode® Emoji Charts v15.1

👀2025 Emoji Preview: Discover The Latest Updates!

Introduction to the New Emojis in Emoji 16.0Face with Bags Under EyesFingerprintRoot VegetableLeafless TreeHarpShovelSplatterEmoji16.0 Update Time Recently, the Chair of the Emoji Subcommittee, Jennifer Daniel, published a blog📃 titled 'New emoji coming at you in 2025'. In the blog, she revealed for the first time the 7 new emojis set to be released in 2025🆕. According to her, in early November, the Unicode Technical Committee held their last meeting of 2023. The meeting discussed and decided that Emoji 16.0 will be updated in 2025, and this update will include the 7 emojis shown in the following image: Although the number of emojis updated this time is not large, each was decided upon by the Unicode Consortium after comprehensive consideration. According to Jennifer's blog, these emojis either have deep historical roots📚️ or possess a richness of usage adaptable to various contexts. I believe that they will play a significant role in further enhancing the completeness and diversity of the existing emojis. The moment I saw this emoji, a sense of familiarity overwhelmed me... This is exactly me, who is dead tired every day but still has to go to work!🥹 Nowadays, under the relentless pressures of life that keep emerging, 'tiredness' has become the deepest feeling experienced by many people daily💔. However, in the existing emojis, there aren't many that can accurately convey this feeling. Additionally, this emoji can perfectly represent staying up late, a habit of many people, especially young people. So, maybe this emoji will become a top trend in 2025🤔 Fingerprints are the patterns on the skin of our fingers🖐️. As a symbol of individual uniqueness, the history of fingerprints can be traced back to ancient Babylon around 1000 BC, when people began using fingerprints as signatures. It's estimated that this emoji will often appear in contexts related to identity🆔, security, and privacy in the future. In this update, the vegetable emoji family welcomes a new member👏Although this emoji was designed as a radish in the draft, its official name is 'Root Vegetable', so it can broadly represent a range of vegetables whose edible parts are roots or stems. Actually, the Unicode Consortium often names certain emojis after a category so that they can represent various items within that category. For example, 🥬 is called 'Leafy Green' rather than cabbage or lettuce, and 🌲 is called 'Evergreen Tree' rather than a specific type of tree. Leafless trees generally refer to trees that have lost all their leaves due to seasonal changes☀️❄️ or environmental degradation. They usually have a dual meaning, reflecting not only the cyclical changes of nature and seasons but also the deeper cultural significance of life's passing and the passage of time⌛. This emoji may be used in the future to represent environmental issues, such as seasonal abnormalities caused by climate change, or to symbolically depict the fragility and decline🍂 of life. The harp is one of the oldest stringed instruments in human history. The earliest harps appeared in ancient Egypt and Sumer and later became widespread in regions such as Asia, the Americas, and Europe. It is not only a symbol of music🎶 but also one of the emblems of Ireland🇮🇪. After Ireland's independence in 1922, the harp pattern began to be used on the Coat of arms of Ireland and the seal of the President of Ireland. A shovel is a common tool in our daily lives, but this emoji can also be used as a verb to describe some actions, such as shoveling soil, digging holes, and even attacking someone. Therefore, it will be suitable for use in combination with other emojis, like with 🌲 (Evergreen Tree) to represent 'planting a tree', or with 🕳 (Hole) to signify 'digging a trap'. This is the only non-physical object emoji among all the new additions. What is it? You can think of it as a liquid spilled🫗 on the ground, or as a stain splashed on a wall, or even use it to represent the abstract concept of 'bursting'. In any case, this should also be an emoji that provides great scope for everyone's creativity, and I am already looking forward to your imaginative ideas about how to use it!🤩 Although the plan for the release of new emojis has been announced, the update of Emoji 16.0 will have to wait for some time, as Emoji 15.1, released this year, hasn't been fully updated yet🐌. As of now, the platforms that have updated to Emoji 15.1 are only Google and Samsung. The following image shows their designs for Emoji 15.1: According to the usual schedule📅, the Unicode Consortium will officially release Emoji 16.0 in September 2024, and major platforms will start updating new emojis in October 2024, with most completing the update by 2025. That's all for this blog! Are there any new emojis that you are particularly looking forward to? Or do you already have some creative ideas💡 for using them❓️ Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments! See you in the next blog!👋

👨‍🎨Let's Make Some Emoji Art！

Emoji Art is a kind of painting created from many emojis (or emoji and symbols). It often used in comments in social media like Youtube, Instagram, or messages to make text more cute and more interesting. In this year's World Emoji Day, there are so many emoji-lovers celebrate this day in social network under the hashtag #WorldEmojiDay. Some vendors are prefer to announced some emoji-related news in World Emoji Day. For example, this year, Apple reveals new Memoji customizations, Microsoft redesigned their emoji and revealed to users, etc.. But don't worry, we normal internet surfer also can celebrate this special day in our own way. Do some emoji art seems like most representative. There are some twitter accounts often tweet some funny emoji art, even some of them have a character and themes! 🔺Kind cute However, in my opinion, there are 2 more types that can be called emoji art: Emoji Mosaic and Emoji Mashup. Emoji Mosaic is a website that can turn any photo into a mosaic of emojis, it was created by Eric Andrew Lewis, who works at the New York Times. You can upload any image and turn it emojified photo that you can download. You can click here if you want to have a try. 🔺Very Monet And I think Emoji Mashup is another kind of emoji art, or maybe you can just call it Emoji Redesign. There are maybe moments that a single, normal emoji cannot express your complex feelings. Then how about make some emoji images by mashup emoji parts like: 🔺I call them [OMG so adorable] and [hey, watch your mouth], I believe they can express my recent emotions perfectly🙃. I made these two emoji images based on Noto Color Emoji, an open source emoji set created by Google. Just choose the emoji images you need (of course we have SVG and PNG emoji images available for download), and edit them with Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. You can get the emoji image just fit for you. Or maybe, we will level up and create our very own emoji-mashup program some day🤔. Just let your imagination run wild, even maybe you can make some emoji art in the comments! And EmojiAll released our own emojiart corner in 2022🙋‍, if you have any amazing emoji art idea, don't be hesitate to share with us! We are really looking forward to your "artwork"👏.

❤Be Cautious Of The Heart Emoji Color You Send!

The meaning of heart emoji in different colorsRed Heart❤️Yellow Heart💛Orange Heart🧡Green Heart💚Blue Heart💙Purple Heart💜Brown Heart🤎Black Heart🖤White Heart🤍Other new Hearts in 2023SummaryReferenceHave you ever paid attention on the color of the heart emoji you sent? Heart emojis have always been used frequently on social media. So, what the different emoji heart colors mean? The existing 9 colors of heart '❤💛🧡💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍', although they are all in the same shape, because of the color differences, the meaning involved is also different. If you want to "show your heart" to your special one through them, you need to choose them more carefully! 🔺: Which heart is your favorite? Please be noted that all the heart emoji meanings we give here is based on the original proposal of this emoji and color psychology. Color psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Before color psychology as a field, color was being used for centuries as a method of treatment as early as 2000 BC. And now, the applications of color psychology touch many other domains such as in sports, marketing, hospital settings, and game design. According to related research, it is said that 'colors have qualities that can cause certain emotions.' Therefore, we added the explanations that related to color psychology to make sure the objectivity and authority of the meanings of color hearts. However, the actual meaning still needs to be based on context💻.All heart emojis are belong to subcategory 'emotion'. Apart from emojis such as heartbeat💓 or burning heart❤️‍🔥, there are as many as 9 colors for heart emoji alone and will continue to add color variations in the future. Rumors said that because of the popularly of all kinds of heart emojis, maybe the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee will further split this subcategory into two, hearts will have their own subcategory someday. Red is the color of passion, lust and vibrant. Whether a red dress or a red rose, color red can always show the most passionate feelings🔥. Red heart ❤ is also the most classic heart emoji, you can use this emoji to show your straightforward love, affection or support to the one you care about. It is used widely between romantic relationship, family and friends. It can be called the most non-mistake heart emoji. Note💡: Sometimes it can be mixed with heart suit emoji ♥️ related to poker. Yellow, a primary color. It is a color gives a feeling of joy, optimism, happiness and calmness, usually associated with the sun☀️. And this yellow heart 💛 is often used to express friendship, or the love between you and your family members. It can also mean loyalty, kindness, honesty, creativeness and other good qualities. In general, it is a positive heart emoji. Depending on the color psychology, orange is a color that stands for warmth, courage and excitement, it can be combined from red and yellow, so orange can be said have combined the characteristics of both 2 colors. Obviously, 🧡 can on one hand express love or admiration, and can also mean close bonds, nostalgia and protection. On the other, the orange heart also shows an emotion of cautious, or to say coward. When you want to send a red heart❤️ to someone you like, but don't really have the courage... Since 🧡 is next to the red heart, maybe it is the best choice to show your feelings without pushing the relationship. This orange heart may be the most suitable emoji for relationship 'more than friends, less than lover'. Green is regarded as an eco-friendly and relaxing color that recognized by many people, and most times symbolize for harmony, tranquility and peace☮. However, green is also a color represent envy or jealousy. In some culture, it is even a color indicate betrayal or being cheated. Of course you can use green heart 💚 to show your care for the environment, but it is more often be used to express jealousy in a positive way. Such as 'I heard you make a new girlfriend, good for you💚' or 'she is a real beauty💚'. It also can be extended to express secret love, underground love, and unwilling love. Note💡: Why green stands for jealousy? It is said that the credit goes to the famous tragedy 'Othello🎭️' that written by William Shakespeare——“O! Beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” And the Greeks thought that when you were envy, your body produced too much bile and giving the skin a green tint. When it comes to blue, do you think of the sky☁ or the vast sea🌊? In any case, blue is the representative color of wisdom, stability, authoritativeness and confident. Blue heart 💙 is a heart emoji just for friends and platonic relationship. It is not as passionate as a red or a pink heart, but it shows a gentle, respect and long-lasting love. Since blue also contains melancholy, it represents deep, bitter love. Purple is often associated with luxury, noble, elegance and sophistication, and it has also been used to indicate mysticism and magic🔮. So, basically 💜 means calm, noble, elegance, luxury, or mysterious love, and can also be used to express emotions between parents and children. However, in social media, purple heart emoji is more used in topics of U.S. military (The Purple Heart award) or BTS (a South Korean boy band). Note💡: There is a famous phrase used by Taehyung (a member of BTS), he said:" Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last color of the rainbow🌈. Purple means I will trust and love you for a long time..." Since then, 💜 had become the favorite emoji in BTS fan groups. Brown is the color of dependable, safety and security. And since most chocolate is brown🍫, this color can also express feelings of bitter sweet. You can use this brown heart emoji 🤎 to express more calm love, like, romance and other emotions, some people prefer to use it to indicate heart-shaped chocolate. In addition, brown heart emoji can also represent black or brown skin🏽🏾. Black is a very controversial color. Some people think of it a color of formal, mysterious and rebellion, and others think of it a color of sad, ruthless and ending🔚. This all depends on the situation when you use color black. Thus, on the one hand 🖤 black heart emoji can express depress and sad, in this case, it is often used with ⚱ a funeral urn, 🙏 folded hands, ⚰ coffin, and 😔 pensive face, is often added when expressing R.I.P.. On the other hand, when it as positive meaning, this emoji can also represent the Gothic style and dark Lolita that young people like, 🖤 can show your rebellion and black humor too. But you should be aware that in some culture, black heart means ruthless and lacking in conscience, or a heart full of hatred and jealousy, and this is totally negative. Like color black, white color also has dual character. In positive, white stands for sincerity, purity and innocence, for example brides always wear white to show their purity👰. In negative, it can express emptiness sadness and isolation. A white heart 🤍 symbolizes happiness, pure love and the great love that cannot be destroyed. It can also represent White Day and can be used with chocolate 🍫 to mean white chocolate. On the other hand, just like 🖤, white heart can show your condolences. In the documents about the draft of Unicode version 15.0 that published last year, the Emoji Subcommittee showed to us there will be 3 more color heart released. They are light blue heart, pink heart and gray heart. !ul_1 !li_1Light Blue Heart: Light blue, or you can call this color turquoise, is a color that encourages focusing on yourself, like your own thoughts and feelings.!li_2 Depending on the color psychology, it is said that light blue can be connected to a higher self-esteem and love for oneself. So, light blue heart is a heart emoji just for yourself, it can be used in topics such as #loveyourself #doyourbest #controlyoueself or other self-encouragement topics✊. !li_1Pink Heart: No one can deny that pink is the color of tenderness and sweet🍬. It is less passionate than red, shows more gentle and less aggressive.!li_2 The pink heart is perfectly shows the characteristics of its color. Pink heart emoji can represent careful and thoughtful love, familiar love, gentle and sweet love. It can not only be used between romantic relationship💏, but also can be used in kinship👪. !li_1Gray Heart: Gray is a color neither dark nor white-colored, and shows characteristics such as unattached, neutral, impartial and indecisive. !li_2 On the one hand, gray heart emoji can mean moderate, restrained love or exhausting love. It may doesn't invigorate, empower or energize your love, but always in steady➡️. In addition, in some culture, gray heart means disappointed, or want to give up in something😢. !ul_2 Except for the meanings mentioned above, of course you can use all these heart emoji for just decorate your text, or as dividing line to make your tweet more colorful. As for groupies, especially K-pop🇰🇷 and J-pop🇯🇵 fans, when one of the heart colors is the official represent color for their idol, then this heart is the perfect emoji to show support to the idol they love🧑‍🎤.In general, people will take different meanings of emoji depending on context or their own experiences, this may result that the actual meaning of heart emojis you meet may be different from this blog post. However, it's undeniable that each heart emoji has a different meaning, and I hope this post can be of reference to you😊. Again, be cautious of the heart you sent and show your true feelings to the one you chat with❣️!str_1Colorpsychology.org!str_2 !str_1Wikipedia: Color psychology!str_2 !str_1Emoji Subcommittee Report Q4, 2021!str_2

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Russia-Ukraine War: Understanding Public Opinion Tendencies From Emojis

Heat of two emojisPeople's use of two emojisEmotions conveyed by two emojisConclusionReferenceOn February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine. The war has been going on for almost half a month so far and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still escalating. This war has sparked the attention of people all over the world. In these days, the topics related to the Russian-Ukrainian war have swept almost all social media around the world, and everyone has been participating in the discussion of this event on the Internet🗣. At the same time, the popularity of emoji related to this event also began to rise, such as Ukrainian flag🇺🇦, Russian flag🇷🇺, Peace symbol☮︎, Dove🕊, etc. Among them, the two flag emojis are the ones with the greatest rise in popularity.According to data on Google Trends, searches for the two flag emoji on Google Search Engine quickly spiked on February 24, the day Russia launched its offensive against Ukraine, and have remained high since then as well. In comparison, people are more concerned about 🇺🇦 than they are about 🇷🇺. 🔺：Comparison of the search volume of the two flag emojis on Google in February 2022 The chart below, also from Google Trends, shows the popularity of the two emojis in different regions💻. Users in the blue area prefer to search the Ukrainian flag emoji, while those in the red area pay more attention to the Russian flag emoji. The data on our website also shows that the popularity of two emoji has increased a lot in the past few days. We ranks all emojis according to the number of searches🔍 and clicks↖ by users in different languages, and the higher the ranking, the higher the popularity. Here we list the ranking of the two emojis among users of several languages with high traffic within the website: 🔺：Change in ranking of 🇺🇦 🔺：Change in ranking of 🇷🇺 Regardless of the language, the ranking of both emoji has improved tremendously, and the Ukrainian flag emoji has even made it to the top 100 in several rankings. Usually, those that make it into the top 100 are very popular emojis, such as the yellow face and hearts that people use most often, which shows how much attention the world is paying to the Russia-Ukraine war.We also did some research about people's use of these emoji. On Twitter, one of the world's largest social networks, the number of tweets containing these two emojis can reach tens of thousands per hour🔥. Many people talk about the event with the two emojis in their tweets as a prominent headline, to emphasize the topic of the tweet or to refer to the two countries. For example, the two emojis are often featured in tweets that broadcast war-related news🆕. In addition, many users will include these two emojis in their usernames to indicate their position and show their support✊ for one of the countries. However, since adding flag emoji to usernames is also a way for some Ukrainians to find and contact their compatriots 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 and share news on the Internet, it was proposed that non-Ukrainian nationals could use 💛 and 💙 instead of the Ukrainian flag emoji, since yellow and blue are the two iconic colors on the Ukrainian flag. This advice was quickly adopted and popularized by everyone. Now, 💛💙appears more and more often and has become a symbol of support for Ukraine. In addition, we also found something interesting. Our website has a feature called "Emoji Sentiment Analysis", which analyzes the text that people post on social networks containing emojis to analyze the sentiment conveyed by each emoji. The sentiment can be divided into three categories: positive, neutral and negative. (If you want to learn more about this feature, you can click the blog link on the right: 🔍Emoji Sentiment Analysis) As with the rankings mentioned above, this feature also analyzes users in different languages separately. Here are the results of the analysis: 🔺：Sentiment valor of 🇺🇦 🔺：Sentiment valor of 🇷🇺 It's worth thinking about the differences in these data🤔.As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate⚠, there is still a great deal of interest in the matter. Public opinion is currently swinging in favor of Ukraine, but it is unclear how things will develop afterwards. Regardless, we hope that the conflict will end soon and people will return to their normal and peaceful lives🙏.

☮Love And Peace! Those Peace-Related Emojis

The Peace Symbol☮️Dove Of Peace🕊️Victory Hand✌ReferencesDue to the recent international conflict between Russia and Ukraine, netizens have engaged in active discussions on social media. Last time we had already talked about the internet popularity of country flag emoji of Russia and Ukraine: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 Russia-Ukraine War: Understanding Public Opinion Tendencies From Emojis. However, except for these two emojis, the using of peace-related emojis are also increased recently. And this phenomenon can be showed that people from different countries are all crave for peace🕊️. Throughout history, there had been many different religions, cultures and individuals developed peace signs to pray for the world peace. So here let me introduce you some of the peace-related emoji that you can use them in recent incident. Recently the most searched emoji on social media is peace symbol☮️. Even in our own popular emoji ranking list, this emoji shows the sustained growth monthly ranking of monthly leaderboard in most languages, which is kind of rare. As one of the most widely used symbols that stands for peace, in fact it is the logo of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament(CND) which was designed by Gerald Holtom in 1958. The symbol is combined from the flag semaphores of letters "N" and "D", stand for initials of 'Nuclear Disarmament'. 🖼️ credit: Wikipedia-Flag semaphore Though this symbol is specifically designed for the anti-nuclear movement, it was widely adopted by the American anti-war and counterculture activists in the 1960s, then reinterpreted as a symbol represents world peace. Besides, this peace symbol(not this emoji) is never copyrighted. You can use it in any situation and do not need to seek permission.Another classic peace symbol is dove with olive branch🕊️. 🔺Microsoft's new dove emoji is so adorable! Which one do you prefer? Just like ☮️, dove is not representing peace at first. Doves appear in the symbolism of many ancient cultures. For example, in ancient Mesopotamia culture, dove was an animal symbols of Inanna-Ishtar, the goddess of love, sexuality, and war. In the ancient Levant, doves were used as symbols for the Canaanite mother goddess Asherah. And in the Japanese mythology, dove is Hachiman's familiar spirit. The most famous story about dove is Noah's Ark, the bird flew back with a fresh olive branch as a sign of life after the Flood🌊. The use of a dove and olive branch as a symbol of peace originated with the early Christians. But dove as a peace symbol gets worldly spread was in 1949. In April of that year, the famous Picasso's lithograph about dove, was chosen as the emblem for the World Peace Council in Paris. Since then, dove is often appeared in political-related contents, such as banners, cartoons, etc. 🔺Dove lithograph by Pablo PicassoVictory hand, also called V sign or Peace sign, is a gesture with a dual character. On one hand, it can represent victory, cute and peace, and on the other, it has insult meaning in some culture. But here we only talk about ✌ as peace sign usage. ✌ was popularized in the American peace movement of the 1960s. It is said that because of the hippies of the day often showed this sign while saying 'Peace', through association, protesters against the Vietnam War adopted the gesture as a sign of peace. Since then, V hand as a peace sign got widely spread all over the world. Especially younger people in Asia, they love giving this gesture while taking photos📷. 🔺John Lennon with Yoko Ono, 1971 ©️TopFoto.co.ukThere are other symbols that can connected to peace, such as white poppy, mistletoe, the broken rifle, Roerich's peace banner, etc. It is so pity that most of these symbols have no emoji. Though there is a rainbow flag emoji, but 🏳‍🌈 is more often used in topics about LGBTQ instead of peace related content. And you may not notice that there are differences between peace flag and gay pride flag. Peace flag is seven colors while gay pride flag is six without turquoise, and the colors of these 2 flags are in opposite order. 🔺'PACE' is Italian for 'peace' All in all, just hope the world can keep peaceful and people stay happiness.

💀Gen Z Emojis Are Becoming Increasingly Difficult To Understand...

Emoji preferences of people in different generationsEmojis given new meaning by the Generation ZWhat smiley emoji means for Generation ZConclusionReferencesLoudly Crying Face😭Skull💀Hourglass⌛Clown Face🤡A few days ago, there was a tweet on Twitter that sparked a lively discussion. This tweet was met with a large number of comments from users who agreed, and gave specific examples from their lives. Occasionally a few people would say 🙋 it was the first time they had heard of this usage, but their comments were quickly covered by other approving comments. This usage comes from Generation Z——people born from 1997 to 2012. They are the first generation in society to be exposed to the Internet 🌐 and portable digital technology 💻 from a young age and are known as "digital natives". So they spend more time on the Internet, have a higher level of involvement in many things related to the Internet, and have left their unique characteristics on them. Nowadays, emojis have evolved new rules and usages in the hands of Generation Z. Many emoji trends of the past have been turned upside down and we are gradually entering in a new era of emoji.Since its birth in the late 20th century, emoji has existed for more than 20 years by now. As a tool for people to communicate, emoji, just like language, has been going through development and changes to suit the needs of people in different times. Generation X (people born from 1964 to 1980) was the first group of people to use emoji. At that time, emoji was a new thing 🆕 and people didn't know much about it, so they used it in a very direct and simple way: smiley face 😄 was used to express happiness, crying face 😢 was used to express sadness, what kind of emoji looked like, what kind of meaning was expressed. And they don't have much need for emoji, they only use it occasionally in online chat. Later, Generation Y (also known as Millennials, referring to those born between 1981 and 1996) became the main users of emoji. Compared with the previous generation, they know more about the Internet, so they are more interested in emoji and have more ideas. They extend the meaning of emoji and create more usages for emoji. They use emoji in a more flexible and interesting way. 🔺：Funny emoji combos And today, the influence of Generation Z on the Internet is gradually growing. "Generations have used language differently for hundreds of years to display youthful uniqueness", said Dr. Dustin York, associate professor of communications at Maryville University. As he says,Generation Z has created new usages for emoji based on their own preferred characteristics, and gradually developed them into the current new trend. They like to redefine emoji and give unexpected meanings to many emojis. This can easily lead to some misunderstanding in communication and understanding. For example, do you know what this example in the picture below means? (Read this blog if you don't know 😎) So, we're going to introduce you to the special use of emoji by today's Generation Z. If you want to understand or integrate with a certain group of Gen Z around you, you can't miss this emoji usage guide below! The official name of 😭 is "Loudly Crying Face", which can be reflected from its design: a yellow face with a sad expression and tears flowing out of the eyes like a waterfall. So it used to be the most suitable emoji to express sadness and crying. However, now Generation Z has given it a new definition: laughing so hard that tears flow. They use it as an emoji version of the Internet slang "lmao" (short for laughing my ass off) to comment on things they find very funny. 😂 and 🤣, the emojis once were most often used to express laughter, now have been as symbols of middle-age by Gen Z, who feel these emojis are outdated and not useful anymore. 💀 was often used to denote a skeleton, a ghost, or some other scary thing. Now it's used by Gen Z to indicate laughter, just like 😭, but a laughter more exaggerated and stronger. It is an emoji version of the Internet slang "I'm dead", which means "Something is so funny that I'm dead by laughing". ☠️ can sometimes be used instead of 💀. Sometimes Gen Z will use these emojis together to indicate something extremely funny. People are always good at using limited emojis to symbolize infinite things. Whenever I see innovative uses of emoji on the internet, I always marvel at the richness of people's imagination👏 and this time the same. The hourglass, usually used to represent timekeeping⏲, time or ornaments, is now a symbol of "Nice body" because its shape looks like a body with wide shoulders, thin waist and plump hips. However, I wonder if the popularity of this usage will cause some body anxiety? Personally, I think the health is the most important thing, so do not be too hard on your own body, just to learn to appreciate your beauty💃. What does this clown remind you of? Amusement parks and circuses🎪? Or the Joker, the feared villain from the movie Batman? Both are very different from what they mean today. Gen Z use it to describe stupid and funny people🤓 or things. Many people will use this emoji to make fun of themselves, such as the popular phrase in China "The clown is actually me".Due to the limited space, there are many other emojis can't be introduced here one by one. If you don't understand the use of some emojis, you can search them in our website. We will continue to update the latest usage of emoji!In addition to the above mentioned emojis, the usage of many smiley emojis has also changed. Generation Z sees smiley emoji as a form of "passive-aggression", believing that these emojis contain sarcasm and hostility. This is also one of the reasons they don't like 😂, as the smile looks a bit hypocritical. This phenomenon is very popular in China. People are more and more fond of using emojis ironically. Nowadays, almost all smiley face emojis can be used to describe sarcastic laughter. 🔺：The real meaning of Wechat's Smiley Face emoji 🔺：Emoji meme made by Chinese netizens This usage has had some impact on people's communication, especially between two generations. For many older people 🧓, the smiley emoji expresses pure goodwill, while for younger people 🧑 who have adapted to the new usage of emoji, it is easy to misinterpret the meaning of the elders. Such a situation is becoming more and more common nowadays, and how to avoid this kind of influence brought by emoji may become a problem that bothers everyone in the future.With the development of emoji, its usage has become more and more diverse. While this diversity has enriched the emoji-related culture, it has also created some problems that cannot be ignored, like the generation gap in the use of emoji mentioned in the article. If you have encountered such problems, we hope this article can help you✅! Also if you know any similar usage, please share it in the comments👏.

👺👹Goblin Or Ogre? The Funny Japanese Cultural Stories Behind

ExplanationIntroductionTenguOniSome interesting analyzesReferencesElf🧝‍, dwarf, troll, dragon🐉... When talking about all these fantasy stories, there are so many supernatural beings that can be counted. Within all these, goblin and ogre are 2 essential races in all fantasy-related subjects familiar to us. Of course you can find goblin👺 and ogre👹 in emojis! But here is the question❓: Why the goblin and ogre emojis are not like the traditional look in fantasy stories? You may not use 👺👹 often, but you definitely see these 2 emojis in some special topics during the Halloween season or #costume/cosplay on social media. Just gets straight to the point, the origin of emoji 👺 and 👹 is actually not from western fantasy tales. Instead, they are all from Japanese folklore🇯🇵 which are called tengu'天狗てんぐ' and oni'鬼おに'. 🔺Goblin and ogre designs from the game Dungeons & Dragons 🆚 tengu and oni in Japanese ancient paintings. Since the first emoji set is released by the Japanese, it is reasonable that the goblin and ogre emojis are designed based on Japanese classic legendary creatures of tengu and oni, and then was added directly into the global Unicode version and Emoji version. The first emoji images of 👺 and 👹 are designed by KDDI in 2003 and look like this👇. 🖼️ The original design of tengu (goblin) and oni (ogre) Generally, you can consider 👺 and 👹 as the Japanese version of goblin and ogre, but there are still some cultural differences between them.So here, please allow me to make some introductions about these 2 strange emojis🙋‍. Emoji 👺Goblin and 👹Ogre are all belong to sub-category 'face-costume'. They were released as unicode in version 6.0 in 2010 and be added to Emoji version 5.0 in 2015. Both 👺 and 👹 are part of Japanese folklore and are known by almost all the Japanese since they were very young🗾.Tengu is a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion. They are traditionally depicted with human, monkey, and avian characteristics, so this explains why this emoji has red face (stands for monkey) and long nose (stands for beak). There are many kinds of tengu, and the emoji 👺 is designed based on the most famous and powerful one called '大天狗daitengu'. 🔺 👺 from different vendors Since ancient times, tengu have often appeared in Japanese folklore. In Japanese culture, tengu have proud nature and penchant for chaos and savagery, they are more like minor gods that are both good and wicked😈. Tengu are normally live in a specific arrange of deep mountain forests. They usually use a magical feather fan as a weapon, which can control wind and flight. Tengu often abduct humans, especially children under 7. So there is a saying that if a child disappears mysteriously(神隠し), usually is stolen by tengu😱. If you are a fan of Japanese anime and comics, then you must be no stranger to tengu, after all, it is continue to be popular among animation, comics, and video games. Lots of characters have the hidden identity of a tengu, or wear a tengu mask🎭 to indicate they are mysterious and powerful. 🔺 Some popular characters based on tengu👺Oni👹 is a fierce and evil yōkai in Japanese folklore, usually portrayed as hulking figures with one or more horns growing out of their heads. Their typical skin color is red, and maybe blue, black, yellow, or white-colored too. They are mostly wearing loincloths of tiger pelt🐅 and carrying an iron club called kanabō. 🔺 👹 from different vendors Though tengu has nothing related to the goblin, there are some similarities between an ogre and an oni. Due to oni's scary looks and evil nature such as murder and cannibalism, they usually appear as popular villains in Japanese art and literature, this is somehow as same as ogres🤔. However, though they were pure evil (like demons👿) in the past, they have become more friendly in modern culture as people tell less frightening fairytales about them like 'Red Oni, Blue Oni'. 🔺Scary to cute😊 In Japan, a celebration called Setsubun'節分' takes place on February 3rd every year, and people will chase away onis by scattering soybeans. This also can shows the significance of 👹 in Japanese traditional culture.After the introduction above, here we also performed some analysis on 👺 and 👹. First, judging from the 'Popularity rating over time' graph of these 2 emojis, they show very similar popularity changes. 👺 and 👹 are not so be known before 2020, however, their popularity both suddenly rose to a peak in March 2020. 🔺The popularity rating over time graph between 👺 and 👹 About this, based on Google Trends related topics data, the most possible reason is laid on the heat of the animation--Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. At that time, the global boom of this animation made netizens show a fond of use 👹 to indicate the villain oni, and 👺 to indicate the hero or hero's teacher character. What's more, as you can see, on the English detail pages of these two emojis, they are each other's most related emojis. And when you explore these 2 emojis in different language pages🔍, you will find that this is the situation not only for English pages, but shows in most other pages as well. 🔺The comparison of 'The Relationship Chart' between 👺 and 👹 In my personal opinion, except for the popularity of demon slayer🗡, maybe it is also because they are next to each other on emoji keyboards⌨ and have the similar color of red🕵️‍, which leads to a strong relationship between 👺 and 👹. Sure if you have any other opinions or ideas about these 2 emojis, please don't hesitate to share with us in the comment below. Or if you want to get more knowledge about a specific emoji, just let me know😉!~!str_1Wikipedia: Tengu!str_2 !str_1Wikipedia: Oni!str_2 !str_1TENGU: THE JAPANESE DEMON THAT'S BASICALLY A MINI-GOD!str_2

🆕Emoji 15.0 Will Be Released In September 2022

Emoji 15.0 Sample images designed by EmojiAllSubcategory: EmotionSubcategory: Hand-Fingers-Open & Face-Neutral-SkepticalSubcategory: Food-VegetableSubcategory: Plant-FlowerSubcategory: Animal-Mammal & Animal-BirdSubcategory: Musical-InstrumentSubcategory：ClothingSubcategory: AV-Symbol & ReligionWhen can we use these emojis on our device？ConclusionAs early as the end of last year, Unicode Consortium unveiled the new emojis in Emoji 15.0, which will be updated in 2022. After several months of waiting, Emoji 15.0 is finally going to be released👏! According to Unicode Consortium, a total of 31 new emojis in Emoji 15.0 will be released in September 2022, although the exact date has not yet been determined. Perhaps the new emoji list may be modified before the final release, but based on the situation in previous years, there will not be much changes. 🔺：Two styles of Emoji 15.0 draft designed by EmojiAll ("Bubble" style 🆚 "Classic" style) The image above displays the two styles of Emoji 15.0 draft we designed. Yes😎EmojiAll finally has our own emoji design🎉! Starting from this year, we will design images for the new emojis released every year. The images of the emojis released in previous years are also in the process of being created, and will be updated on the website when they are completed: EmojiAll(Bubble), EmojiAll(Classic) The reason why we designed two styles of images is because we want to show you the diversity of emoji design styles, as well as to meet the different needs of users. The Bubble style mainly adopts a flat style which is different from the three-dimensional style, with brighter colors 🟡 and more delicate details, while the Classic style uses simple geometric figures as the basic elements of design, with a more minimalist style. Since the emoji images designed by each platform cannot differ too much 🙅 so as not to cause users to misunderstand the meaning of emoji, we have generally ensured that our images are as similar as possible to those of other platforms, but we have still tried to add some elements that reflect our national 🇨🇳 and cultural characteristics in the design. Now let's take a look👀 at these new emoji images we designed!At present, the meaning, usage, Unicode code, image download and other useful information of each emoji have been updated on the website. You can click the CLDR Short Name of each emoji in the picture below to enter its detail page. CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Light Blue Heart L2/21-202 Pink Heart L2/21-203 Grey Heart L2/21-201 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Rightwards Pushing Hand L2/21-216 Leftwards Pushing Hand L2/21-216 Shaking Face L2/21-214 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Pea Pod L2/21-199 Ginger Root L2/21-200 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Hyacinth L2/21-215 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Donkey L2/21-196 Moose L2/21-197 Jellyfish L2/21-217 Goose L2/21-219 Black Bird L2/19-307 Wing L2/21-198 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Flute L2/21-193 Maracas L2/21-194 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Folding Hand Fan L2/21-192 Hair Pick L2/21-218 CLDR Short Name Proposal Bubble Classic Wireless L2/21-191 Khanda L2/21-223 Compared with previous years, the number of new emojis released this year is much smaller📉. Emoji 13.0 and Emoji 13.1 released in 2020 contained a total of 334 emojis, and Emoji 14.0 released in 2021 contained 112 emojis, while this year there are only 31 new emojis. In addition, the categories of new emojis are mainly focused on [⌚️Objects] and [🐵Animals]. Only one "🫨Shaking Face" emoji is added to the most anticipated category [😂Smileys&Emotion], and there are no new people emojis. However, although the number of these new emojis is smaller than before, they are all useful and applicable in a variety of contexts and situations, as they all represent common things in daily life. This reflects the Unicode Consortium's requirements for new emoji proposals in recent years: they will focus on whether the new emoji can fill the gap in the existing emojis, making it more and more convenient for people to communicate using emoji.（📚Recommended blog：🐣How to make a new emoji？）Although these new emojis will be released soon, we still have to wait a few more months to use them on our phones/computers/tablets🤦 because it will take some time for major platforms to add the new emojis to their systems. The specific time spent varies from platform to platform, as fast as the end of this year, as slow as next year, or even in the second half of next year... 🚬Some of you may not even be able to use the Emoji 14.0 released last year yet🙃 According to the release date for emoji support of previous years, we have made a timeline that estimates the date of Emoji 15.0's release on major platforms: We will keep you informed if there is any new news about Emoji 15.0😗. And, please feel free to let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions about our design for emojis🥺👉👈 See you in the next blog!(flying kisses👋

🐇Happy Year Of The Rabbit！Let's Talk About Those Emojis Related To Rabbits!

Emojis related to RabbitsRabbit🐇Rabbit Face🐰People with bunny ears👯ConclusionChinese New Year is coming up this week! EmojiAll is here to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year!!!🎇🧨🍻 This year is the Year of the Rabbit🐇. Naming years after animals is a Chinese folk culture that is said to have originated during the Qin Dynasty. There are a total of twelve of these animals that can be used to name the year, and they are called Zodiac signs. Since we have introduced the zodiac signs in this blog 🐯Happy Year Of The Tiger！Let's Talk About The Emojis For Chinese New Year last year, we won't take up space to repeat it in today's blog. In addition, this blog also contains lots of introductions to Chinese New Year related emojis, which will be very useful for those who want to learn about Chinese culture. Legend has it that the 12 zodiac signs are related to animal worship, so each one is not just an ordinary animal, but has a rich cultural significance and symbolism. When it comes to legends related to rabbits, the most famous one is Chang'e rushes to the moon🧚‍♀️🌙. Chang'e's only companion on the moon was her pet, a rabbit🐇, and thus the rabbit is given the symbolic meaning of the moon. In addition, the rabbit also has good symbolic meanings such as kindness, longevity and peace. To welcome the Year of the Rabbit, the protagonist of today's article is of course the rabbit. We'll talk about the stories behind those rabbit-related emojis.This is a half-squatting rabbit in full profile facing left. 🔺：Rabbit emoji on different platforms There are two emojis representing rabbits among all the emojis, one is this and the other is the Rabbit Head🐰 which we will talk about later. But almost all of us tend to use🐇 to represent the Year of the Rabbit. From our Emoji Ranking, with the gradual approach of Chinese New Year, 🐇 has soared to the eighth place in the weekly ranking in China, while 🐰 is in the 30th place. Personally, I guess it's because its design is more realistic and it presents a complete rabbit, which is more suitable for representing the rabbit of the zodiac signs.Compared with🐇, the design of 🐰 is obviously more cute and cartoonish. 🔺：Rabbit Face emoji on different platforms So it is very popular to use this emoji to represent someone who looks like a rabbit or has a personality as cute as a rabbit. This usage is very common for Kpop fans. Many of them like to use emoji to represent their idol. For example, the picture below shows the most popular hashtags associated with the Rabbit Face emoji on social media, which contains the names of so many Kpop stars: Doyoung, Jungkook, Jaemin, Soobin, Jimin and Wonho. This picture is from Emoji Tag Cloud, a feature we invented to understand the trend of emoji on social media. It can extract the hashtags most related to each emoji by collecting and analyzing the information people post on social media. You can click Emoji Tag Cloud to experience the feature.The last emoji related to rabbits is not an animal, but a character. Its official name is "People with bunny ears", but in fact it represents the Playboy Bunny waitresses in the Playboy Club. 🔺：People with bunny ears emoji on different platforms They got their name from their uniform - Bunny Costume. The costume consisted of a strapless corset teddy, bunny ears, black sheer-to-waist pantyhose, a bow tie, a collar, cuffs and a fluffy cottontail, which makes the waitresses look like rabbits when they wear the uniform. Since the image of the Playboy Bunny waitresses is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is one of the most important symbols of American entertainment culture, 👯 was added to Emoji version 1.0 in 2015 and appeared on our devices. 🔺：Apple's design for 👯 over the timeSo that's all for today's blog. Any comments or suggestions are welcome in the comments! Finally, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year once again🎉🧨🏮! We'll see you in the next blog!

🐣How to make a new emoji?

Before we submit a new emoji:Requirements for the emoji you intended to submit:Form for Emoji Proposals and processFor Example: The emoji of [Polar Bear]How to submit your proposal via emailHow long will it take to approveAn easier way to submit new emojis:References There is no doubt that emoji are already become a global language which transcends nationality and culture, sometimes, an emoji can express some kinds of emotions or describe a situation more precisely. So far, though there are thousands of emojis exist, but still not enough, we need more emojis to perfect this “language”. However, here is the question: can we create a new emoji by ourselves? The answer is “Yes，anyone/any organization can submit a proposal for an emoji character.” First of all, we need to know what is emoji. Emoji is not a picture, but a pictogram, a kind of character. In other words, what we do is to submit new character to a kinds of special characters. Now you can make a form for emoji proposals, and send it to Unicode Consortium. Pay attention please: 1. You can not submit emoji proposals to companies like Apple, Microsoft or Google, you can only send it to Unicode Consortium; 2.Unicode Consortium only accepts complete proposal documents (including design plans, investigations and proposals), those simple suggestions is not acceptable. A new emoji proposal needs to satisfy some of the requirements of the Unicode Consortium, and the application steps are also very complicated. You need to have excellent ideas of emoji and enough patience to make the proposal successful.For the emoji you intended to submit, it needs have 4 conditions: compatibility, high expected usage level, distinctiveness and completeness. Compatibility: Is your emoji needed for compatibility with high-use emoji in popular existing systems, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Wechat? For example, emoji Polar Bear 【🐻‍❄】,at the beginning, except for a team named "Climoji" has a polar bear sticker, there is no polar bear emoji appeared on any platform. Expected usage level . The emoji you want to proposal mast have high expected usage level, otherwise consortium will not take it into consideration. The evidence of usage level must follow the format of Evidence of Frequency. The following must be present: Google Search, Bing Search, Google Video Search and Google Trends: Web Search & Image Search. The picture below shows the usage level data of polar bear. At the same time, the applicant should elaborate and analyze whether this emoji contains metaphorical and symbolic usage. For example, Polar Bear can not only refer to the polar bear（mammal), but can also be used to refer to a charity organization called "Polar Bear Club", or the polar bear character in Minecraft. Secondly, can the candidate emoji be used in sequences? For example【🌋🌊⚡】can express an extreme weather, cold area could be represented by【🐻‍❄🏂🧣】. Finally, does this emoji represent something that is new and different? After all, it would be better to proposal an emoji for a new kind of animal rather than an emoji for a new breed of dog Distinctiveness.. Except emotion emojis, you should explain how and why the emoji you propose represents a distinct, visually depictable entity. Meanwhile, The emoji image you supply will not be used in products, but instead needs to demonstrate that the emoji is distinct enough to be recognizable at typical emoji sizes, such as 18×18 pixels on mobile phone screens. If a proposed emoji is not distinct enough from existing emoji (or sequences of emoji), either semantically or in appearance, or contains text or abstract symbols, your proposal might be turned down. Completeness. For example, as for some systematics emojis like zodiac or sports, does the proposed emoji fill a blank in these types of emoji? Among the above 4 conditions, compatibility and expected usage rate level are the most important factors. However, even if the proposed emoji satisfies the above 4 conditions, it is still not enough. If this emoji has any of the following factors, your application may be rejected: The emoji is applied too frequently, or it is applied through petitions, which it’s data are easy to fake. Emoji is overly specific. For example, the dumpling emoji is now available, so similar food such as spring rolls, fried dumplings will be rejected because they are too precise and specific. The emoji you want to propose is already can be represented by another emoji or sequence. For example, a crying baby can already be represented by 😢👶 CRYING FACE + BABY. Logos, brands, UI icons, signage, specific people, specific landmarks, deities are unsuitable for encoding as characters. Transient or faddish symbols are easy to be rejected. If the emoji you want to propose is a flag, it proposal must meet special conditions. For details, please refer to the [Flags] section of the official document. The emoji proposal form is incorrect and incomplete, or lacks corresponding data or attachments. Note💡: Even if the emoji passes the application, its final official name and image may be different from the original proposal. At the same time, before you are ready to propose an emoji, you need to make sure that the emoji has not been submitted or the application has not been rejected. Please refer to the Emoji Requests for details. Some characters are already encoded in Unicode. If you want to propose this kinds of characters as an emoji, The timeline for these proposals is not as long as for new characters, since existing characters can be changed to be emoji or emoji sequences added on a shorter timeline. In addition, if the Unicode character is completely symbolic like Morse code, emojification is not recommended. When the proposed emoji satisfies all the above conditions, you may have understood the limitations of emoji encoding. Please read enough amounts of application examples before deciding whether you really want to submit this emoji or not.Anyone/any organization can submit a proposal for an emoji character, but only a small percentage are encoded. As long as the proposed emoji satisfies all the requirements and is sent to the committee in strict accordance with the format (PDF or HTML), it has a chance to be accepted. Proposal for Emoji: Polar Bear Submitter: name(s). Use [ ; ] between multiple authors. Date: When re-submitting revised documents, the document date must still be updated each time. CLDR Short Name: CLDR:Common Locale Data Repository. CLDR Keywords: Use [ | ] between multiple keywords, such as Bear | White | Snow | Polar | Ice | Arctic... Sort Location: In the Animal-Mammal category as a ZWJ option for Bear. After elephant🐘. Reference Emoji: Short name, such as [Elephant]. 💡One sample color image and one sample black&white image for each proposed emoji must be included in the proposal and in an attached zip file. The images at the top in two sizes: 18x18 and 72x72 pixels. And the images must have appropriate licenses so they can be used on the Unicode site, such as “public domain”, “licensed for non-commercial use”, “free to share and use”, or equivalent (CC: CC0, or BY **). Download If your document is over 6 megabytes or so, you can put it on the web and send a URL to the committee. If you submit HTML, body text should be 10 points, or 12 points at the largest; headings over 14 points are not necessary. And do not forget author, title, date, headers/footers, and page numbers. When your proposal documents are all set, you can officially start to submitting your emoji. Send proposals to [[email protected]] to request that the documents be added to the agenda. Proposals for new emoji characters must be submitted before March 31 of each year，proposals for emojification and sequences must be submitted before Sept 1 of each year to be considered for inclusion in the release of the Unicode Standard for the following year. The proposal is submitted to the Unicode Consortium and then referred to the Emoji subcommittee, which meets weekly by phone. So the week before the meeting is the deadline for submission.proposals are normally processed in the order in which they arrive, proposers will generally receive a response within five business days. If too many proposals are received at once, even submitted by the deadline still not guarantee that a proposal will be considered in time for the following year. The proposal is submitted to the Unicode Consortium and then referred to the Emoji subcommittee, which meets weekly by phone. However, there is typically a very full agenda, and it can take up to 30 days (and sometimes longer) for the initial review of a new proposal. During the meeting, emoji subcommittee will decide whether to submits your proposal to the UTC or not. After several times of meetings and discussions, if your proposal is accepted, it will become a candidate for a new emoji. The following is the timeline for a typical successful proposal. Date The progress of proposal Y1Q1 Your emoji proposal is submitted to Unicode and referred to the Emoji subcommittee (ESC). After it goes through three revisions, and is then accepted by the Emoji subcommittee for forwarding to the UTC. No more than 5 emoji proposals submitted at one time. Y1Q2&3 In these two quarters, 2 candidates will be eliminated. Y1Q4 CLDR begins translation of the Emoji names and keywords, and decides a sort order. Y2Q1 In another round of selection in this year, one of the characters is removed. CLDR removes the declined characters, and finalizes the names, keywords, and sort order of the final candidate emoji. Vendors begin design. Y2Q2 After this quarter, The approved emojis are published in Unicode version X at the end of the quarter, and are included in the final data files. According to the timeline of the Unicode Consortium, it takes about one and a half years for a new emoji from submission to implementation. However, due to COVID-19, the Unicode Consortium is not currently accepting emoji proposals. Submissions received before April 2021 will be returned to sender. The submission form and process will be changing during that time and submissions will resume after April 2, 2021.EmojiXpress has a platform called EmojiRequest, which can help users request new emojis. With this site or their iOS app, users can simply request the emojis they would like to see created next, and EmojiXpress will take care of the rest. So far, they have successfully created over 60 emojis. Using this platform can save you time and energy. It should be noted that the submission for the new emoji has been changed in 2022, and now the proposal can only be submitted through the Unicode Emoji Submission Form. That's all for making a new emoji! Hope this blog post can offer you some help🤗.

😊Why is Emoji mostly yellow?

The very first yellow smiley emojiThe reason why emoji choose yellowSummaryEmoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2010. In the beginning, only emojis from category [Smileys & Emotion] have yellow skin, and emojis from [People & Body], they are all white skin and you cannot change it skin color. Although emojis are under the management of the Unicode Consortium, when a new emoji become final candidate, the Unicode Consortium will only decide the basic shape and description of each emoji, and give its black and white prototype, but it cannot decide this emoji's final design in each vendor. Therefore, what color an emoji should be rendered and how to deal with the details are all left to the vendors to design by themselves. However, in the beginning, most vendors set the emoji skin color to white skin. Under this reason, emoji has received various criticisms like lack of expression, lack of diversity, racism, etc. There are even some organizations that have launched a petition called "DIVERSIFY MY EMOJI" to protest to Apple that emoji's skin tone should be changenable. Until Unicode 8.0 in 2015, the Unicode Consortium released five skin tone modifiers based on Fitzpatrick skin classification, they can provide five kinds of modification for character's skin color: 🏻 🏼 🏽 🏾 🏿 But no matter how the skin color changes, they all use yellow (#FFCC22) as the default color. This yellow color does not point to Asian skin color, it does not even look like normal human skin color. So why do almost all vendors choose such a yellow as the default skin tone of emoji?The reason why emoji's skin color chooses yellow is somehow related to the classic smiley face that popular around the world from 1960s to the 1970s. This smiling face was born in the United States in 1963, when an insurance company hired graphic designer Harvey Ball to design an icon to help calm their employees' anxiety. Therefore the classic smiling emoji was born. 💡Harvey Ball💬：I made a circle with a smile for a mouth on yellow paper, because it was sunshiny and bright。（I made a circle with a smile for a mouth on yellow paper, because it was sunshiny and bright.） This easy-to-draw smiley face later become so popular, and even became one of the representative logos of hippie culture. It was active in various costumes, comics and music albums, and became the symbol of "World Smile Day". 💡:The smiley face used by the French Evening News to inspire people(upper left); The villain character in comic [Watchmen](lower left); Hippie wearing a smiling emoji T-shirt (right) All in all, the popularity of this yellow smiling face has laid the foundation for the skin color of emojis.There may be the following reasons that why the default skin color of emoji is yellow: From the perspective of color psychology, yellow is a very positive color, and its brightness can make people feel happy. The psychological effect of color comes from the direct impact of physical light stimulation of color on human physiology, such as red makes people feel excited, blue makes people feel calm and relaxed... and yellow can make people feel warm and hopeful, and see something yellow may make people smile and happy. This is also the positive emotional effect emoji wants to bring to people. Yellow is also a neutral color close to human skin tone. Most of vendors choose this color is because of its characteristics "ethnically neutral" and "Non-human" . This kind of brighter yellow can take care of the display problems of various models and better show the details of emoji. If the yellow is not bright enough, it may be white on earlier devices; and if the emoji is not yellow but red or blue, the facial details of the emoji cannot be displayed well. 💡:Red and blue emojis are easy to make people feel fuzzy and dizzy, but yellow does not have this kind of problem. Why emoji is yellow? About this question, there is no accurate answer but only guess. As mentioned above, the color yellow is creative and optimistic. Yellow can maintaining its neutrality, it is also very eye-catching. Many well-known animate characters also choose similar yellow as their skin color. Combining the historical origin of emoji, the neutrality requirement of emoji and the color characteristics of yellow, it is reasonable for most of vendors to choose yellow as the default skin color of emoji.

🤳Animoji On IOS：Make Your Emojis Move！

What are they?How to create your Animoji?ConclusionHave you seen these pictures before? They look like the emojis but we can't find them in the Emoji keyboard. So what are they? Where to find them? How to use them? Well, this article will reply all these questions. They are called Animoji, a new feature added to the iphone X in 2017. Animoji can make a emoji "come to life" by giving it your voice and facial expressions. It means that when you talk, squeeze your eyes, open your mouth or make any other expression, Animoji will record your voice and mirror your facial expressions in real-time to produce a custom and animated emoji with your expression and voice, which can be sent as video with audio. This system works through Face ID, the iPhone X's facial recognition technology, which will identify up to more than 50 different muscle movements to mirror our various expressions. Animoji only lives in the devices that support iOS 11 and above, except iPhone SE 2. You can create your own Animoji and send it as a message to any of your contacts on the Messages app. It can also be used to replace your real face in the video call on FaceTime app. For preparation, you need a device that support iOS 11 and above, as we just mentioned. Here we take the iPhone X as an example. 1.Open the Messages app. 2.Open a conversation with a contact. 3.Tap the Animoji button(it's an icon of a character in yellow square frame) at the top of the keyboard. 4.Swipe the screen left or right to choose a emoji. Bring your face into view until a red recording icon appears. 5.Tap the recording icon, make some expressions and tap it again, then tap the send (blue arrow) button to send the Animoji. If you want to use Animoji on FaceTime： 1.Open the FaceTime app. 2.Start a call with a contact. 3.Tap the Effects icon at the bottom of your screen and tap the Animoji button. 4.Now you can choose a Animoji to replace your face. Although Animoji is not as well-known as emoji and is not widely used due to the limitation of iOS system, this feature is still quite fun. In some social networks, such as Twitter, there are many tricks for playing it. People use it to record singing videos or shoot MV. You can also try to dig out more ways to play it!

☁️Emoji Tag Cloud: Help You To Get More Knowledge Of Emoji!

How we get tags?The professional technology explanation of tag extractionHow to use our Emoji Tag Cloud?Every emoji is special. As long as you analyze it in a right way, you can find out many information such as meanings, category, related topic, even some unique usage of an emoji at a glance👀. After we perform a great amount of calculation and analysis to every emoji, we finally get Emoji Tag Cloud, keywords and phrases related to a specific emoji, and represent it in a novelty visual way. 🔺The Tag Cloud of emoji [unicorn🦄]As we all know, Twitter is a global famous social networking service, and people like to tweet texts with emojis to express their emotions or just as decoration. Most of our tags is from tweets all over the world. We analyze tweets from 2018.01 to 2021.11 and extract the tags from 812 million of tweets that contain emojis. Then we use statistics and algorithms to pick out the texts that are highly relevant to a specific emoji, and distinguish the language. Throught this, we can even know how an emoji is used in different country. Here we use english site as an example. These 2 emojis in our english page: 😎(smiling face with sunglasses) and 🦄(unicorn). We perform tag extraction to them and get words like [cool] or [nicki]. Here shows up a new problem❓: Of course there are lots of texts related to an emoji, then how we choose the most suited tag, and how to arrange them? In this situation, they involve further algorithms.There are many types of tag extraction technologies with different effects, such as abstract extraction for articles, and keyword tagging algorithms for short texts. Our "Emoji Tag Cloud-Twitter Tag Extraction" is based on the TF-IDF algorithm. It carried out with a modified process based on the characteristics of the Twitter data, which is an unsupervised short text label extraction algorithm. To facilitate understanding, here we summarize the procedure of tag extracting into 3 steps. First, we perform emoji extraction and text cleaning for each tweet with a month as a unit, remove topics and nicknames like [@xx], [#xx], and delete the tweet URL. During the text cleaning, we also filter stop words in different languages (for example, remove some modal particles like ah, oh, etc.), abbreviations, word forms, capitalization and other factors, finally get word frequency information data corresponding to each emoji. Second, we use the TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) text representation algorithm to calculate an initial label text weight based on the results obtained in the previous step. The calculation formula is: TF-IDF = TF * IDF TF (Term Frequency) is obtained by dividing the number of occurrences of a word corresponding to an emoji by the total number of words corresponding to the emoji. IDF is Inverse Document Frequency, IDF = log( N / N(w) ), while [N] represents the total number of emojis, [N(w)] represents the number of emojis containing the word [w]. 🔺When a word appears in both emojiA and emojiB, it means that the word is not representative enough, and the weight of this word should be reduced. From the formula IDF = log( N / N(w) ), it can be seen that the range of IDF between 0 and positive infinity decreases with the increase of N(w). When a term appears more times in an article, it means that the weight of the term is greater. However, the words that appear most often are words that express tone or have no actual meaning, such as [aww], [oh] or [RT]. It is difficult to avoid the filtering of such words if only sorting and filtering by the TF value. So the IDF inverse document number is introduced as a constraint, in order to calculate a more accurate value to represent the weight of the label text. At the end of step 2, we will filter the entries that appear more than 15% of the total number of emojis. The units calculated in the first two steps are monthly data, and the total data is four years. At the last step, we will perform another round of consolidated statistical calculations on all monthly data. Convert the calculated four-year tweet data into the form of [(sum(tfidf_m) / M) * log(M)], and further calculate the weight of each tag entry. [sum(tfidf_m)] represents the sum of the TF-IDF values of the term in each month, and [M] represents the number of months in which the term appears. These, then, is the approximate calculation method of emoji tag data. After the final data is summarized, we will also manually check and filter according to the language in order to get more accurate tag results. In addition, the tags will also use CLDR short name and CLDR keywords for reference, they are the most basic tag text, which means you will always see some of these words in the Emoji Tag Cloud. 🔺 When an emoji is submitted to Unicode Consortium, it is necessary to have CLDR short name and CLDR keywords in its proposal, so these words must take into tag choosing consideration. The information of emoji [unicorn🦄], we put its short name and some of keywords into its tag cloud.It been quite a time we released the Emoji Tag Cloud. Personally, I believe it is a very funny and useful tool to observe a specific emoji, sometimes you can even know which group or trending topic prefer to using this emoji. Let me show you how to use our Emoji Tag Cloud! As mentioned above, the weight of each tag text is different. You can simply judge the correlation between tags and emoji by the size of circle (the bigger, the more relevant). Or you can put your mouse on the circle, there will be a small square with [number, tag text] show up. In this situation, the smaller the number is, the tag in this circle is more relevant to the emoji. You can also click these tags to search other related emojis! Still, we use unicorn as example. the Tag Cloud of emoji [unicorn🦄] is like below: As you can see, the Top 5 tags of 🦄 are [unicorn], [nicki], [unicorns], [plt] and [barbz]. Word [unicorn] is the CLDR short name of this emoji, and the rest of 4 tags are all extracted from twitter. [nicki] and [barbz] are related to Nicki Minaj and her fan group, and word [plt] is refer to [Pretty Little Thing], a UK-based fashion retailer or just this phrase. 🦄 is a popular emoji in SNS, and a very representative emoji for Nicki Minaj fans. If you love Nicki, you definitely should use this emoji! All in all, by using our Emoji Tag Cloud, you can easily find out the related contents of a specific emoji, maybe you can even know more about pop culture and avoid embarrassment of not knowing the basic and extended meaning of an emoji. Sometimes the using of an emoji can become a social phenomenon, such as this emoji 🥺 in Japan. As an emoji to express begging, grievance or loveliness, this word 'ぴえん🥺' won the "JC&JK Buzzword Awards 2019'", "2019 Gal Buzzword Award" 2nd place, the first place of "Instagram Buzzword Award for the first half of 2020" and became a trend emoji all over Japan! In this case, for some people, Emoji Tag Cloud is also a great tool to get know about internet culture, all depend on how you use it. All these are to explore more usage of emoji, and hope you find emoji are interesting and informative. In order to provide you accurate emoji-related contents, the data will also keep updating.

🕸Emoji Relationship Graph: Another extended research of emoji!

What is Emoji Relationship Graph？How to understand the Emoji Relationship Graph?How to calculate the relationship between emoji?ConclusionNowadays more and more practical and interesting emoji usages are created, for example, different categories of emoji will be combined together to become a Meme, or seemingly unrelated emoji can actually be used to describe the same meaning, which makes emoji gradually create a connection between them. We want to show this relationship between emoji visually and let users have a deeper understanding of emoji usage, so we use machine learning algorithms to calculate the relationship between emoji and draw the result into an easy-to-understand picture, which is the Emoji Relationship Graph. It is well known that emojis are usually presented as images, but it is impossible to figure out the relationship between emoji with images, because the main use of emoji is to convey information and emotions, they are more like a language, so it will be more accurate to explore their relationship through the meaning and usage of emoji. Therefore, we obtained all the tweets containing emoji from 2018 to 2021, totaling 812 million tweets. Considering that the usage of emoji will be different in different language environments, we classified the tweets by language, and then calculated the Text Similarity between emoji in each language by machine learning algorithm, so as to get the corresponding Emoji Relationship Graph for each language. This is the Emoji Relationship Graph of 👉 for spanish. The red box shows the 9 nearest emoji to it, the length of the ray represents the degree of relationship, the shorter the ray, the closer the relationship. In addition, the graph also shows a part of other emoji's relationship graph. In the black box is the relationship graph of 👆，and in the orange box is the relationship graph of ⤵. The results reflected in the relationship graph allow us to have a richer understanding of the usage of emoji. For example, these two emojis 👈🥺 are often used as a combination with 👉 in recent years to express aggrieved, shy or pleading, so they appear in this relationship graph: These two emojis are often used to indicate links, which means they have similarities in usage, so they are close to each other in the relationship graph: If you delve into the emoji relationship chart, you may refresh your perception of some emojis. Next we will give you a detailed description of the calculation process. It can be roughly divided into the following three steps: First, we use the TF-IDF algorithm to extract the tags of each emoji from the tweets and the weight corresponding to each tag. Tags refer to those words that are most closely related to emoji, which are equivalent to the characteristics of an emoji; and weights refer to the closeness of the relationship between tags and emoji, the higher the weight, the closer the relationship. About the algorithm and calculation process of getting tags, we have written an article to introduce it in detail, you can click the right link to read it: ☁️Emoji Tag Cloud: Help You To Get More Knowledge Of Emoji! After obtaining the labels, a new problem arises. When it comes to calculations, we all know that generally only numerical values can be calculated, but the tags are presented as text, so how can they be calculated algorithmically? Therefore, our second step is to convert the text into the numerical values that can be calculated——Vector. This process is called Word Embedding. We need to first read a large amount of tweet data using the word2vec algorithm (one of the methods of word embedding)to transform each word in the text into a vector, then we can obtain a word embedding matrix consisting of all high-dimensional vectors of words, and later map each word corresponding to each tag we got in the first step into a high-dimensional vector through the word embedding matrix. Thus, we have completed the text-to-vector conversion. These high-dimensional vectors are calculated by analyzing the context of the text, which can well preserve the semantic information of each word and thus ensure the accuracy of the text similarity. The word2vec algorithm is also explained in detail in our blog, if you want more details you can read it: 🔍Emoji Sentiment Analysis The last step is to calculate the text similarity between emojis. The algorithm commonly used to calculate text similarity is VSM（Vector Space Model). This is one of the most widely used similarity calculation models, but it obtains results by calculating co-occurring words (words that appear in both texts) of two texts, which is not accurate when facing texts with the same meaning but different wording.So to avoid this situation, we chose another algorithm——SCM(Soft Cosine Measure). It can measure the similarity between words, so even if two texts do not have words in common, this algorithm can calculate the similarity of two texts by evaluating the word similarity. The final calculation results are presented in numbers, the larger the number we get means the higher the text similarity between emojis, and the higher the text similarity, the closer their relationship. Through the relationship graph, we can understand people's habits and preferences of using emoji, and explore the trend of emoji usages. You may be surprised to find that some emojis you wouldn't associate with each other are actually very closely related, and that may be a new trendy use of emoji you haven't known yet!

🎭Why Do Emojis Look Different On Different Platforms?

What is emoji？Different design of emojisProblems caused by the difference between designsConclusionReferencesAppleGoogleMicrosoftSamsungHave you ever noticed that the same emoji looks different on different platforms? 🔺：The difference in the appearance of the same emoji on iOS (left) and Android (right) The difference in the picture above is relatively small, although they both don't look exactly the same, at least they are very similar. But there are some emojis that look completely different on different platforms(examples will be given in the following content🤣). So why this difference exists❓ First we need to know the origin of emojis.The emojis originated in the 1990s and were designed and created by 👨‍💻Shigetaka Kurita, an interface designer working for Japanese mobile operator NTT DOCOMO. Once the emojis were launched, they quickly became popular with young people and became the trend on many platforms. However, at that time, there was no way for emojis from different platforms to be compatible with each other ❌，so people would have some problems when sending emoji across platforms, such as emoji becoming garbled words or unable to be displayed. As emojis became more and more popular worldwide 📈, the need to solve this problem gradually emerged, so in 2010, the Unicode Consortium, which is responsible for encoding most of the world's writing systems, decided to incorporated emojis into Unicode. As a result, each platform has a unified encoding standard when introducing emojis, and the cross-platform compatibility of emoji is realized. 🔺：You can consult the codepoint of each emoji on our website As an organization devoted to maintaining and publishing the Unicode Standard,the Unicode Consortium is mainly responsible for the review, management and coding of emojis, while the task of designing the appearance of emojis is 🫴 handed over to each platform. Every year, once the Unicode Consortium has decided on the new emoji to be launched, each platform will design the appearance of the new emojis based on their information and sample image🖼. Since different platforms have their own branding concepts and design features✨, the designed emojis will have different appearances. Some platforms will even add some details related to themselves in the emoji design, for example, Apple designed their four book 📚emojis with the words "VOL X by John Appleseed", in honor of John Chapman, the first person to introduce apple trees to the United States. We've listed the design images of several main platforms below, let's have a look! Apple's design is my favorite one❗ Apple's emojis are more three-dimensional and realistic, and the processing of details is also very delicate. Some emojis look almost the same as the real things, so that people basically do not misunderstand their meaning (but insect emojis really do not need to be so realistic 😭). The public is also more familiar with Apple's emojis. On the one hand, Apple has a larger number of users, on the other hand, Apple always releases new emojis faster than other platforms every year, so many people will be more impressed with Apple's emojis💥. This also leads many people to think that emojis are updated and expanded by Apple (I did the same at first🤐), but NONONO🙅, the birth of each new emoji will go through this process: People submit emoji proposals - Unicode Emoji Subcommittee review proposals - Platforms release new emojis.（Recommended reading： 🐣How to make a new emoji？） 🔺：Comparison of two designs of Google's emojis Google launched the Blob emoji in 2013. These emojis have the irregularly fondant shape and look soft and elastic, so many people call them "jelly man" or "pudding"🍮. However, in order to keep the appearance of the emojis largely consistent across different platforms, Google changed this design after 2017 and adopted a design that is more similar to the design of other platforms. Most Android devices use Google's emojis. 🔺：Comparison of two designs of Microsoft's emojis（Picture Spurce：https://docs.microsoft.com/） Microsoft's old emojis feature a black border and cartoonish style🧸, but in the Windows 11 update introduced in November 2021, Microsoft replaced the previous style of its emojis with a new Fluent Design style. The new design has changed in color and style considerably compared to the previous one, and also closer to the design of other platforms. 🔺：Comparison of previous Samsung emojis and emojis of other platforms（Picture Source：Emojipedia） Samsung's emojis have also undergone a major update, as some of its previous emojis were so abstract that one could wonder what the hell it was... 😅 In 2018, Samsung updated the design of all emojis to make them look less distinctive. But the new design still retains a strong cartoon style. Due to the limited space, there are many other platforms can't be introduced here one by one. You can view the design of all platforms on our websitePlatform List. You can also download them⬇From the previous content you can find that although all platforms are designing the same emojis, there are still many differences between the designs, which often leads to misunderstandings when people use emojis to communicate across platforms. For example, Samsung previously designed 🙄 as a small yellow face with a crooked smile, so many users misused this emoji as a smile emoji... 🔺：I really want to know what Samsung emoji designers are thinking about💀 But this problem is being solved. In the past few years, each platform has been continuously updating its own emoji design, whether it is the modification of individual emoji or the update of the overall style of emoji. Each change has gradually narrowed the differences between the designs of platforms. Besides, there is another problem. Since each platform designs and updates new emoji at different times, you may find that some emojis can't displayed properly on some platforms or devices😩. 🔺：The boxes with x are the emojis that cannot be displayed properly This issue is a little complicated, we will write another blog detailing it later. Please stay tuned🙇!So now you know, the reason why emojis look different on different platforms is that each platform has its own design for emoji. However, to ensure the consistency of emojis across platforms, their designs may become more and more similar in the future, but since the emojis have now become a means for platforms to attract users, the platforms will definitely still retain their own characteristics in the design🤹‍♂️. Which platform's design do you like the most? Tell us in the comments!👇!str_1Windows 11 November 2021 Emoji Changelog!str_2 !str_1Google is redesigning its awful blob emoji for the new Android O!str_2 !str_1Samsung is finally updating its terrible emoji!str_2

🔍Emoji Intelligent Search: Searching Function With NLP Technology!

Why We Developed Emoji Intelligent Search?What Have We Developed For Now?How To Use Our Intelligent Search?Related LinkMaybe some of you have noticed that our landing page: emojiall.com has been changed. From now on, emojial.com will center on the search function to provide a better website experience to our user🙋‍. As for the search function on emojiall, it can be said a comprehensive function of the application of NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology. And so, without further ado, we will show you a detailed introduction to our search function!People usually turn to search engines such as Google, Bing, or some emoji websites for Emoji meanings. The search results, however, have been far from satisfaction, concerning the accuracy and comprehensiveness of emoji meanings. 🔺An example when users search for a ‘dog’ emoji in a traditional search engine Like the sample image displayed above, the traditional search engine only tends to give results just for the exact term ‘dog’, like ‘hot dog’, ‘guide dog’ or ‘dog face’ but ignores the emojis that may relate to dog. This shows the search results are very rigid and limited in matching search terms. To address the gap, we developed an emoji search engine with the intelligent association, conditional filtering, and multiple sorting functions. We want this search function can not only display the emoji corresponding to the exact search term, but even the emojis related to it.Our Emoji Intelligent Search uses the "Elasticsearch" dedicated search engine, which returns search results by creating a database and then submitting data into it. By importing various data such as 'emoji', 'title', 'known as', 'description' into the database we mentioned above, we have finally achieved our goal to a certain extent. When a user searches for keyword(s)/emoji, our intelligent search can suggest emojis that are highly relevant to the search term, rather than a rigid and straightforward correspondence. For example, when our users search for the emoji 'dog🐕', those related emojis will be suggested, such as 'cat face', 'fox', etc. As for the keyword(s)/phrases corrosonding, for instance, when users search for 'summer', the intelligent search engine will additionally recommend other highly related emojis like 'lotus', 'thong sandal', 'melting face', etc. What's more, as a comprehensive search engine, it can also display images of searched emoji in various platform, emoji combos and memes that contain this emoji, even blog posts that have the aimed emoji/keywords. EmojiAll's Emoji Intelligent Search🔍 supports multilingual search in 47 languages, and it also allows users to enter: Emoji, keywords, or Unicode codepoint to perform searches, and find relevant information from our Emoji Dictionaries, Emoji Combos and Memes, Emoji Festivals and Special Topics, Emoji Popular Science Articles, Emoji News Blogs, Emoji Pictures, and other useful content according to user's input, then use text or picture to return search results. At the same time, this Emoji Intelligent Search also has functions like real-time search word by word in the input box, keywords highlighting in the results, one-click copying of emoji and other functions. Filtering and sorting are also prominent functions of our Emoji Intelligent Search. The search can filter the results by multi-dimensional combinations of ‘Emoji’, ‘Blog’, ‘Topic’, ‘Images’, ‘Combos and Memes’, and can also sort the results by 'Comprehensive, Newest, Comment'. All of these are to enable users to search for the emoji information in the shortest possible time. Although the search function still has certain limitations😢, we will not stop the improvement. What's more, in the future, we are consider incorporating all the content in the Elasticsearch database into the Emoji Knowledge Graph, which is also a task we need to continue to work on💪. We hope that the Emoji Intelligent Search developed by emojiall.com would improve users’ search experience and understanding about emojis. And we will keep updating and improving our functions to provide better experience to you🤗! Search for Emoji Search for Emoji Image

🎂The 10th World Emoji Day: A Look Back At Emoji's Fifteen Years Of Evolution

Evolution of Emoji’s DiversityFrom Communication Tool to Digital LanguageEmoji is Everywhere We're celebrating the World Emoji Day again for 2023!🎉 This is the 10th World Emoji Day since Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge decided to establish the date as a festival to commemorate the exsistence of emojis on July 17, 2014. With a fifteen-year trajectory of evolution, emojis have gone from the initially indistinct pixel images to thousands of standardized characters. Nowadays, emojis have indubitably secured an irreplaceable position in our everyday lives. On this special day, I want to take a look back with you all emoji lovers at the evolution and transformation of emojis, discerning how they have fundamentally altered our lives, and how they'll continue to advance and infuse our lives with greater joy and amusement! Emojis were initially created by the Japanese in the late 1990s. At that time, they exhibited a relatively singular array and were limited in number, encompassing only some fundamental expressions and objects. 🔺：First emojis created in 1999 Subsequently, with the proliferation and standardization of emojis, they were officially integrated into the Unicode coding system in 2010 and begun to be managed by Unicode. Over the next few years, Unicode successively introduced hundreds of new emojis, particularly focused on categories of expressions and objects, thus gradually enriching the category of emojis. In 2015, a significant innovation was introduced with the release of Unicode 8.0: the skin-tone modifier, permitting users to select different skin tones for human-related emojis. This can be seen as a milestone in the development of emoji diversity. Since then, Unicode has made a lot of efforts to expand the diversity of emojis: 📅In 2016, Unicode began exploring ways to allow users to freely choose the gender of emojis and considered expanding the range of occupation-related emojis, with a special emphasis on the diversity of female professions. 📅In 2019, Unicode 12.0 approved a range of emojis reflecting disabled individuals and diverse gender identities, such as Ear with Hearing Aid, Guide Dog🦮, and so on. 📅In 2023, Unicode15.1 introduced the direction modifier, which allows users to change the orientation of certain emojis, offering autonomy to orient them either to the left or right. 🔺：The gender of human-related emojis can be male, female and gender-neutral These alterations have not only enriched the variety and choices of emojis but also elevated their inclusivity and expressiveness. Regardless of skin color, gender, profession, or culture, emojis strive to reflect the diversity of our society. This not only allows a greater number of individuals to see themselves represented in emojis but also enriches and streamlines our communication. In the future, as the degree of societal openness and inclusivity continues to escalate, perhaps we will see even more previously overlooked individuals or concepts enter the public eye, securing their own niche within the world of emojis. The enhancement of emoji diversity has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for its evolution. With the increase in the varieties and quantities of emojis, they are able to convey a growing range of information. As a result, emojis are no longer confined to chat boxes📱 to fill the emotional void in online communications; their deeper value is gradually being discovered. On social media, users from around the globe employ emojis to bridge language and cultural barriers, facilitating mutual understanding and communication. People have created an array of intuitive emoji combos to signify different meanings, such as 🥺👉👈(Shyness) or 👁️👄👁️(Shock). Complex emotions and information can be conveyed through a few simple emojis, significantly diminishing the communication challenges among people of different nations. Beyond emotions and information, emojis have also begun to embody people's values, reflecting the cultural background of each user and even expressing some societal phenomena and trends. Furthermore, as emojis are more convenient to send than text and more likely to capture people's attention, they play a crucial role in disseminating🌪 news and shaping public opinion. 🔺：In the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war, 🇺🇦,💛,💙 can be used to find ukrainians and express support for Ukraine In 2015, the Oxford Dictionary📕 selected the emoji"😂" as the "Word of the Year," recognizing its apt reflection of that year's societal ideologies and emotions. This was the first time the award was bestowed upon a non-textual symbol, signaling the gradual transition of emojis from a communication tool to a digital language. Concurrently, their value and societal impact were also acknowledged. The final significant aspect of the emoji’s evolution lie in the application of emojis. People's creativity and imagination have paved countless innovative avenues for the use of emojis, which are now ubiquitous in various fields. The most commonplace applications are observed in advertising and marketing. As the fame of emojis has increased📈, co-branded collaborations between brands and emojis have become frequent in recent years. For example, in 2016, Pepsi🥤designed 70 unique emojis to adorn its cola cans to captivate consumers' attention and stimulate their desire to purchase. This entire campaign was promoted in over 100 countries worldwide. 🔺：Pic source：PepsiCo In ads and promotions, emojis seem to have become a staple. Xiaohongshu, a well-known social app in China is characterized by having too many emojis in its posts because adding emojis to the texts can make the texts more attractive and enhance more attention🧐. The inherently entertaining nature of emojis also makes them an easily integrated element in games🎮︎. Password Game, a newly released game with tremendous popularity has used emojis in the design of the gameplay. Users need to design a password according to the provided rules, one of which states, "Your password must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji."(Moon phase:🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑) Even in the field of AI, a globally trending in 2023, emojis have found a place to exert their influence. A few months ago, we whimsically used emojis as prompts when generating images using AI drawing tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion and we surprisingly discovered this to be an incredibly simple yet useful method. We even wrote a blog post to share this interesting finding: 🧐New Discovery: Emojis are the Game Changer For AI-Generated Emojis. Nowadays, emojis have permeated every corner of our lives, transforming our lives in ways we could not have foreseen. Gjatë pesëmbëdhjetë viteve të fundit, emoji-t kanë evoluar nga emoticonë të thjeshtë në një gjuhë dixhitale të pranuar universalisht. Duke ndjekur këtë trend, besoj se do të ketë edhe më shumë risi dhe përparime me emoji. Në këtë ditë të veçantë, le të shprehim mirënjohjen ndaj këtyre simboleve të vogla për komoditetin dhe gëzimin❤ që i sjellin botës, si dhe për të gjithë ata që kanë kontribuar në zhvillimin e emoji-ve. Le të parashikojmë kolektivisht një të ardhme edhe më emocionuese dhe magjepsëse për emoji-t! Gëzuar Ditën Botërore të Emoji!

🐉Year Of The Loong! Let's Exploring The Cross-Cultural Journey Of Dragon Emojis🐲

🔸The mysterious Chinese dragon: Loong🔸Two kinds of dragon emoji:🐉 and 🐲Dragon emoji 🐉Dragon Face emoji 🐲🔸The Usage of The Dragon Emojis on Social Media🔸SummaryReferencesWith the arrival of the year 2024, we celebrate the Year of the 'Loong-龙'(dragon) in the Eastern calendar, a time of legend and mystical power. We wish you a Happy Chinese New Year🎉! In Eastern culture, the loong, the Chinese version of dragon, symbolizes auspiciousness and mystery, representing strength, wisdom, and good luck🍀. If you don't know about the Chinese zodiac, it is an important part of Chinese culture including 12 animals that represent different years and corresponding personalities. These zodiac signs are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Among these 12 animals, the Loong🐉 is the only mythical creature, which makes it even more unique and noble. In today's digital age, dragons not only exist in fantasy stories and works of art, they are also active in our daily communications as cute little emojis 🐉🐲! This time, let us explore the mystery of the dragon emoji and see how this small symbol crosses the boundaries of culture and technology and becomes an indispensable part of global communication🌏.The Chinese dragon, also known as the loong (龙), is a legendary creature in Chinese mythology, folklore and throughout Chinese culture. Chinese dragons have many animal-like forms, but are most commonly seen in the form of a four-legged snake-like shape. Traditionally, the dragon symbolizes strong and auspicious power, especially over water, rainfall, typhoons and floods🌊. Many Chinese proverbs and idioms refer to the loong, such as "望子成龙-hope for a child to become a dragon" and "龙马精神-the spirit of the dragon and the horse". There are many types of Chinese dragons, such as Qinglong, Yinglong, Qiulong,Panlong, etc., and each of them has its own distinctive appearance. 🔺credit: Wikipedia & studycli Compared with the evil and greedy Western dragon, the loong is a sacred and auspicious creature in China. It is also very closely associated with the Chinese emperors and was used as a symbol to represent imperial power👑. Coupled with its mystical overtones, it now is a spiritual and cultural symbol of prosperity and good fortune, and the god of rain, which promotes harmony💙.In the world of emoji, dragons are represented in two ways: 🐉 and 🐲.The 🐉 emoji showcases a full-bodied green dragon with a long, sinuous body, decorated with rhombus scales. The emoji also has 4 little limbs that end in clawed feet, giving the dragon a realistic and ferocious appearance. Below are the dragon emoji images designed by each vendor/platform👇: 🔺While most platforms design their dragons as traditional Chinese dragons, they still incorporate some of the characteristics of Western dragons. And some platforms design it directly as a Western dragon. Have you ever noticed that platforms like Apple, Symbola and Mozilla are designed with a ball-shaped object⚪ in the dragon's claws? Legend has it that this dragon ball is made from the magical power of the dragon and is the dragon's spiritual treasure that enhances its power and might💪. The dragon ball is also the most precious object of a dragon. Dragon will tease the ball from time to time, or grasp it in its claw to show that it is cherished🤗.The emoji 🐲 represents the dragon's head. It has eye-catching green skin and two horns on top of its head, slightly curved backwards. He has a long, curly beard and a mane of hair on his face and top of his head. It usually has a wide, smiling mouth with sharp white teeth. 🔺Some platforms were designed to look like Chinese dragons, while others featured Western dragons. While these two emoji can be used interchangeably in cross-cultural communication, their respective unique symbolism and cultural contexts usually guide users in choosing which one to use in a given context💬.As we can be seen from our Emoji Tag Cloud, there is no major difference in the general use of the two dragon emoji. 🔺 Emoji Tag Cloud is a feature we invented to understand the trend of emoji on social media. It can extract the hashtags most related to each emoji by collecting and analyzing the information people post on social media. However, the usage of dragon emoji can be vary depending on user's cultural background. In Eastern cultures, especially Chinese culture🇨🇳, the dragon is a symbol of good fortune, representing strength, wisdom, wealth and good luck🤞. Therefore, when users in these cultures use dragon emojis, it is often to express blessings and celebration, and will often appear especially in topics related to the Year of the Loong, or Dragon Boat Rowing🚣 at the Dragon Boat Festival. In contrast, in Western cultures, the image of the dragon may be more diverse, ranging from the traditional symbol of evil😈 and destructiveness to representations of bravery and strength✊. Thus, when Western users use dragon emoji, they may be using them to express overcoming a challenge, courage or a love of dragons in fantasy stories and games🎮. For example, when discussing about dragons in games, movies or books, users may use dragon emoji to express their enthusiasm for the content or their support for the characters. At the same time, with the Year of the Loong already upon us, dragon emoji are rising in popularity📈, especially in China. As you can see from our emoji leaderboard, these 2 dragon emojis, which are already very popular, are being used even more frequently in this special year. 🔺Emoji Ranking in Simplified Chinese 🔺Emoji Ranking in Traditional ChineseIn this journey of exploring dragon emoji, we discovered that these two tiny 🐉 and 🐲 symbols are not just fun elements when chatting, they actually carry a rich cultural story and deep symbolic meaning. So, next time you send these 2 dragon emojis in a message, remember that you're not just sending an emoji, you're also conveying a cultural story!

Here we'll show you two✌️ ways for you to choose. If you just want to add a few emojis to your photos without the need of edit or design, you can do it directly through your phone's built-in software.

Select the smiley icon in the phone keyboard ⌨️ to add emojis to your photos, and you can also adjust the size of the emojis. If you want to create those emoji combos we mentioned earlier, you'll need other apps to do so. Here we take Canva as an example: First of all, you need get the "Canva" app on your phone. After the download, open the app, click on the purple icon with a "+" in it and choose a photo from your media. After entering the photo editing page, swipe the bottom row of icons to the left until you find the "Apps" icon and tap it. Then find the "Emoji😜" icon on the new page that opens and click on it. Now you can design as many emoji combos as you want in your photos! These emoji can be changed in size and angle, and some of them can even be changed in color (for example, two hearts of the 💞 in the picture above has been changed to brown), which can give you plenty of room to be creative and imaginative!That's the entire content of the tutorial, isn't it easy? Just have a try if you have known how to do it! Make your social media more stylish and fun with emojis!😎
