Can you guess which is the most used emoji? Turns out that people love using the "Face with Tears of Joy" 😂 so much that it's the most popular emoji for four years in a row!
It's difficult to picture a world where we don't use emojis since they've become such an integral part of the way we communicate. Just take a peek at your inbox or social media feed and see how many of them contain emojis. On Facebook Messenger alone, users send and receive an estimated 5 billion emojis every single day. Even more astounding is that researchers have discovered that when a person sees an emoji, the portions of the brain that become active are the same ones triggered when seeing someone's facial expressions.
The name "emoji" is a combination of the Japanese words "e," which means "picture," and "moji," which means "character." The original emojis were created by Japanese designer Shigetaka Kurita and are now housed in The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The use of emojis, however, only started becoming popular when Apple launched its messaging app in iOS 6. Since then, "Emoji" has been named the fastest-growing language ever.
