meaning picture and character.Each emoji represents an emotion,
expression, state of mind, or a person, place or thing. There are now
almost 1,000 to choose from.

symbols and icons to communicate, according to the Bangor University
report, with 72 per cent of 18 to 25-year-olds adding that they found
it easier to put their feelings across using emoji than with
words.“Smiley face“ is the most popular emoji symbol, followed by

cheeks“ and “thumbs up“ also make it into the top five. ANI The
