World Emoji Day: know the reason for this celebration
Today is the international day of the emoji, which has made people around the world celebrate it with the greatest honors. Similarly, multiple companies have joined the festival giving their users a variety of these famous figures so that they can use them in all kinds of chats.
The reality is that the date of celebration of this world emoji day does not have much background and does not commemorate a date of great importance. The world community chose this day, because the calendar figure shows July 17 specifically.
All this matter was mainly thanks to the Apple company, who showed this calendar icon at a conference in 2002. Similarly, the presentation of the calendar emoji took place on July 17, which is why many companies took it as a reference date when implementing it in their chat services.
Currently, the calendar icon is usually dynamic, so it is updated with respect to the date that users have on their mobiles. For this reason, it would no longer show the so mythical July 17, but the current date. Even so, people around the world continue to celebrate this day as the most important day in the history of emoji.
Despite this, the calendar date has not been extended among the entire community of companies, but rather they have chosen an emblematic date for their services. Therefore, we see Facebook placing May 14 because it is Mark Zuckerberg 's birthday; and to Twitter placing March 21, because on that date, in 2006, said company was created.
The most used emojis today
The renowned global company, Statista, has published a comparative graph showing which are the most used emojis throughout the year and which is the date where they are used the most. In this way, it comes out that New Year's Eve is when users most use these well-known icons.
It has been proven that the two most used emojis today are the smiley face with tears and the heart. It should be noted that each of them plays different popularity depending on the social network used. Instagram, for example, ranks first with the heart emoji.
