Summary | Originating in the late 1990s in Japan, emojis have gained huge popularity worldwide. Some say they are destroying our language, others use emojis for poetic endeavors. Fred Benenson has for instance re-written the classic story of Moby Dick using emojis. The project was crowd funded and is called “Emoji Dick”. Apple has recently put into action an online petition calling for more ethnic diversity among emojis.
