Emoji

The term "emoji" in the strict sense refers to such pictures which can be represented as encodedcharacters , but it is sometimes applied to messaging stickers byextension. Originally meaning pictograph , the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, "picture") + moji (文字,"character"); the resemblance to the English words emotion.

Shigetaka Kurita :


The man who invented emoji. When Shigetaka Kurita created the first emoji in 1999, he had to work within a grid measuring 12 by 12 pixels.

The emoji was predated by the emoticon , a basic text-based version of the now established Unicode emoji language and likely took inspiration from pictograms. Numerous attempts in the 1990s were made in Europe, Japan , and the United States to
enhance the basic emoticon to make it more desirable for use.
The emoji is based on the premise of using text markers to form images. This dates back to the 1960s, when Russian novelist and professor Vladimir Nabokov stated in an interview with The New York Times "I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile — some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket." However, it wasn't until the 1980s when computer scientist Scott Fahlman invented the emoticon , by suggesting that :-) and :-( could replace language.
In the early 1990s, there were a number of digital smileys and emoticons that were used in fonts, pictograms, graphical
representations, and even welcome messages. The font Wingdings, designed and used on Microsoft platforms, used
smiley and sad faces in its language and first appeared on Windows and other Microsoft platforms from 1990 onwards. In
late 1995, it was announced in the French newspaper, Le Monde , that telecoms company Alcatel would be launching a
mobile phone to be released in 1996. The newspaper article displays the BC 600, with the welcome screen displaying a
digital smiley face.Versions of the Nokia phone also contained sets of graphics, which in 2001 they were still referring
to as smileys .
