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.
