An emoji is a small picture used to show a feeling, object, or action. Common examples include a smiling face, a heart, a thumbs-up sign, and a picture of food. Emojis can add meaning or emotion to words in text messages, emails, and online posts.
The word emoji comes from Japanese: e means "picture" and moji means "character". The first emoji set was created in Japan in the late 1990s for mobile phones. Different devices and different apps may show the same emoji with slightly different artwork.
