History of emojis
Emoji stands for the Japanese word combination for ‘picture’ — e — and ‘character’ — moji together forming the word emoji. Emojis were first created by Shigetaka Kurita in the year 1999 in Japan. While working for NTT Docomo on a mobile internet platform, Kurita created a set of 175 12-pixel by 12-pixel emojis for use in messaging. These 175 character cum pictures have now evolved and are used by leading platforms like Apple, Google as a part of their keyboards. Dedicated keyboards for emojis have also developed.
