In general terms, emoji development dates back to the late 1990s in Japan. By 2010, when the Unicode Consortium was compiling a unified collection of characters from the Japanese cellular emoji sets, which would be included with the October 2010 release of Unicode 6.0, [1] a face with tears of joy was included in the au by KDDI and SoftBank Mobile emoji sets.
However, an equals sign, a number 8, a capital letter B or a capital letter X are also used to indicate normal eyes, widened eyes, those with glasses or those with crinkled eyes, respectively. Symbols for the mouth vary, e.g. ")" for a smiley face or "(" for a sad face. One can also add a "}" after the mouth character to indicate a beard.
Emoji became increasingly popular worldwide in the 2010s after Unicode began encoding emoji into the Unicode Standard. [7] [8] [9] They are now considered to be a large part of popular culture in the West and around the world. [10] [11] In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries named the Face with Tears of Joy emoji (π) the word of the year. [12] [13]

Emoticons is a Unicode block containing emoticons or emoji. [3] [4] [5] Most of them are intended as representations of faces, although some of them include hand gestures or non-human characters (a horned "imp", monkeys, cartoon cats).
To modify an emoji representing a human or body part, the emoji modifier must be placed immediately after that emoji. [ 12 ] When the emoji modifier is applied to an emoji, the emoji-style variant selectior (U+FE0F) should be omitted because the emoji modifier automatically implies emoji-style presentation.
