Emoji

img An Emoji is a collection of pictograms that are embedded in text and used in electronic messages and web pages. The most commonly used emoji set is currently a closed set, operated by Unicode. The primary function of modern emoji is to fill in emotional cues otherwise missing from typed conversation as well as replace words as part of a logographic system. Other pictograms used to demonstrate emotions or replace words can also be GIFs, emoticons and stickers. Emoji exist in various genres, including facial expressions, expressions, activity, food and drinks, celebrations, flags, objects, symbols, places, types of weather, animals and nature.
