💩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.

🎭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

❤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

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🐅! We'll see you in the next blog!!str_1Ten Chinese New Year customs!str_2 !str_1Baidu: Spring Festival!str_2

👨‍🎨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"👏.

☮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.

👺👹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.
