🚩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?》.

©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.

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"👏.

🐣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!

🗂Some Update And Emoji Analyzes That Summarized EmojiAll 2021

EmojiAll & Emoji Usage In Different CountriesEmoji of the year (EmojiAll .ver)About commentsOther contents we added and updated in 2021Recently, the Unicode Consortium released the 'Most Used Emoji Of 2021', and each website has started its own year-end summary. Following this trend, in the closure of 2021, here we try to do some related summaries about emoji and our emojiall.com under our own analyzing angle. Here should be mentioned that all these data are from our website internal statistics, google analytics and Twitter for reference only💡. Now that we are talking about rankings, here I want to share with you some of the latest website internal rankings related to emoji that you may interested in. It is a global ranking, just like the Unicode Consortium's recent blog. The most clicked emoji on EmojiAll🖱️ The most searched emoji on EmojiAll🔍 The most liked emoji on EmojiAll👍 The most potential emoji on EmojiAll✊ The most commented emoji on EmojiAll💬 We added comments and login functions in March, which further increased the interactivity between users. Whether it is text comments or emojiarts, we are all very grateful for netizens' enthusiastic participation. Here we collected some of the popular comments that we believed is quite funny. I personally divide them into three types: knowledge-share type, interactive type and emojiart type. Knowledge-share type: Parts of users like to introduce some popular emoji usages to other users in an emoji comment, or why this emoji is suddenly become wide used. Such as these 2 emojis below👇. Interactive type: Here is my favorite type of comment! Some users like to interact with the emoji in some specific emoji comments, which is quite cute. For example ⛩️, netizens treat it as an actually shrine and began to pray in the comments... 🔺Hope to become rich, hope to succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination, hope to become a beauty, and there are even people who want world peace👍 Emoji art type: Since we published 👨‍🎨Let's Make Some Emoji Art, more and more netizens prefer to create their own emoji art in the comments, which is very creative. 🔺We got Minecraft, Squid Game and Spider Man!! In addition, by analyzing the time distribution of user comments in the background, we can know that lots of users comment on our website during working hours👨‍💻. Among them, the number of people reached the peak around 3PM, and some users still visited our website in the early hours of the morning. All in all, thank you all for your support!!Except for the leaderboard and comment functions mentioned above, in 2021, we also added other new emoji analysis contents such as sentiment analysis, location analysis, relationship graph and tag cloud. Through these contents, we believe that you will gain more understanding of emoji and be able to use them more flexibly. At the end of the year, after several months of modification, the last major update we launched was the improvement of the search function. Now you can use advanced search on emojiall to find emojis, emoji memes, blog posts, emoji topic, etc. Anything you might be interested to know!! By the way, after we analyze the search results on the website backstage, we found out that the search terms of each country also have their own characteristics. Here we still make the top 5 visited languages as examples. 🔺Chinese top 5 words: Fire, melon, heart, flower, gift. 🔺Spanish top 5 words: Applause, heart, diamond, bisexual, arrow. 🔺Portuguese top 5 words: Arrow, book, heart, nursing, nutrition. 🔺English top 5 words: S*x, heart, moon, sun, arrow. 🔺Turkish top 5 words: Heart, draw, music, lion, chat.You may have noticed that all our ranking sometimes has some differences compared with Unicode's conclusion. It is of note here that our data sources are different💡: while Unicode's emoji rank is based on median frequency of use across multiple sources, EmojiAll uses our own website internal data and publicly available social media data. Over time, our data will become more and more accurate. In short, the end of the year is a good opportunity for self-summary, reviewing a year's works, check if anything is missing and close loopholes📝. All our efforts are to promote emoji to the world, reduce misunderstandings about the meaning and usage of emojis, and analyze emojis in many unique angles. We will continue to work hard and keep releasing funny contents in the future. We are looking forward to your continued attention!Since emojiall.com launched in 2019, we are now supporting 46 languages, and according to internal statistics, the top 15 most visited languages and their changing trends are shown below👇.As for the countries, here we also list the top 15 most visited countries and their trends over the months in case you are interested in.On this basis, we launched Popular Emoji Leaderboards based on multiple languages this year. This is one of the popular new contents we released in 2021. Using this leaderboard, we can know which emoji is most popular in a country, you can even filter time, language, gender, age or category in our ranking list. This means you can get lots of knowledges from our emoji ranking lists, such as a country's preference for emoji use, the ratio of emoji used between male and female in this country, etc. Here we take the top 5 of the above countries as examples. Based on our leaderboard, among these countries, the Top 5's most used emojis are like below. Brazil: 🛐✈︎❤️‍🔥☯︎🙄 China: 🤤🇨🇳😅❤🚬 Turkey: 🥰🤍🥺🤎✈︎ Iran: 🤌🖕∞🥺🗿 Indonesia: 🗿❤️‍🔥✔️😇☭ From the above ranking, we can infer that maybe Chinese people like to use their own flag emoji, while in Iran and Indonesia, people may like to use Unicode characters like [∞] or [☭], and they all prefer [🗿moai] maybe.
