1. What does the word “emoji” come from and what are “emojis”
The word “emoji” comes from Japanese , literally meaning “ picture character”.
Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings. They come in different categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals , and food and drink.
2. The development of emojis:
In 1999, there were only 176 simple designs.

3.Why do people like emojis
It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. Because they add emotional feeling, and are quick and easy to use.

The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers.
Disadvantage:

One day, perhaps emojis will have become a real pictorial “language”.
Emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place.
