Every year, over 900 million emojis are sent every day without text on Facebook Messenger, and since 2015, half of all comments on Instagram have included an emoji.
Judging from these stats, it’s safe to say that emojis have become part of our standard digital language. And they’ve come a long way since first appearing on Japanese mobile phones in 1997, evolving to express thoughts and experiences that are globally relevant.
