Express in emojis
Happy World Emoji Day! Did you know there was such a day. This whimsical day falls on July 17 and celebrates the cute little images that are often used in text messaging and on the Internet. Whether happy, sad or angry, a lot can be said with these images.
They originated in Japanese mobile phones in 1999. The word comes from the Japanese words “e” (which means picture) and “moji” (which means character).
What started out as just facial expressions has now turned into much more with pictures of common objects, places, weather, animals, and more. Emojis are so popular that there are now many products that use them, including phone covers, t-shirts, pillows, and more.
Emoji’s can be used to depict words. So here’s a fun little game for you.
