Summary | Emojis are a fully-fledged language and a means of influence that internet users and business companies want to use. Emojis were created in Japan at the end of the 1990s. Now, the Unicode Consortium gets to decide what emojis we can use. Anyone can submit a proposal for a new emoji; in 2015, a Muslim teenage girl launched a campaign for the introduction of a hijab emoji.

Summary | Emojis are becoming a universal language. Will they allow men and women to understand each other? A recent study tried to figure out which emojis are mostly used by men and which are mostly used by women. Results show that men and women use different emojis and they use them differently. For instance, women tend to use more emojis with tears than men.
