    Do you use emoji very often? It's said that emoji is the fastest growing language in history. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social media, such as WeChat and Facebook. They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court (法庭) judge in England used a smiley face emoji in a document (文件) to make it easy to explain. the court's decision to children. It's not surprising that there's a day to celebrate emojis, but what do you know about its organisers, the website Emojipedia?

    The company Unicode actually creates the computer code that gives us emojis, but Emojipedia is where you can learn exactly what each emoji means and how to use it. Most of us probably know and use the most popular emojis, like the classic smiley face, heart or the smiling face with tears of laughter. But if you want to grow your emoji vocabulary, you can use Emojipedia to find out new ways to speak emoji.

    Unicode adds new emojis all the time. They might take time to be shown on all platforms and phones, but you will see them immediately on Emojipedia. An important improvement to the emoji list, which had 2,823 emojis after its 2018 update, is to make the emojis more various. The code for each emoji is the same, but different platforms, like We — Chat or Facebook, design their emojis in different ways. When Emojipedia was deciding on which day to hold World Emoji Day, only Apple was using a calendar emoji with a date on, 17 July. So, they decided to celebrate World Emoji Day on 17 July too.

    If you want to send someone a message using emoji to celebrate World Emoji Day, Emojipedia has plenty to chose from, including six colours of raising hand emojis, five party emojis and two kinds of fireworks. You can even choose a world globe that shows the part of the world you live in. Whichever emojis you choose to celebrate, we wish you Happy World Emoji Day!
