What are Emojis?

Emojis are small digital images or icons used to express an idea, emotion, or sentiment in electronic communication. These visual symbols have evolved from basic text emoticons like ":)" to thousands of standardized icons representing everything from facial expressions to food, activities, and cultural symbols.

What’s the Purpose of Emojis?

Emojis serve several purposes in online communication:

• Express Emotion: They help show tone and feelings (e.g., 😂 = laughing, 😢 = sad)
• Add Personality: Make your content more fun, friendly, and relatable
• Grab Attention: Visually break up text and draw the reader’s eye—especially useful on social media
• Simplify Ideas: Use symbols instead of words (e.g., 🕒 instead of “3:00 PM”)
• Boost Engagement: Posts with emojis often perform better by feeling more human and expressive
