What are emojis?
Emojis are small digital images or icons
used to express ideas, emotions, or objects
in messaging and online communication.

tone and emotion, and help clarify the
sender’s feelings, which is especially
helpful in text-based communication where
tone is often unclear.

How Are Emojis
Made?
• Unicode Standard:
Emojis are created and standardized
by Unicode, an organization that
assigns each emoji a unique code.
This code allows emojis to appear
across different devices and
platforms.
• Approval Process:
New emojis are submitted and
reviewed annually by the Unicode
Consortium. Approved emojis then
get added to future updates on
devices and software.
Why Do Emojis Look
Different on Each Device?
Each platform (Apple, Google, Samsung, etc.) designs
emojis in its own style, which is why an emoji might look
slightly different on different devices. For example, the
“woozy face" emoji on an iPhone may look a bit different
on an Android device.
