Have you noticed that in the emoji on the mobile phone communication app, there is a calendar pattern that says the date is July 17? Seeing this, some people abroad have designated tomorrow as "World Emoji Day". The establishment of "World Emoji Day" is to hope that people from all over the world will hold emoji parties to communicate with ethnic groups in different places with emoji and break down geographical boundaries. Emoji reflects national characteristics. Britain and the United States are often worried, and France is very romantic. The social networking site Twitter today announced the most widely used emoji patterns in various countries. Among them, the emoji of "worry" is most commonly used by people in the UK, the United States and Canada, and the emoji most commonly used in France and Italy is the heart symbol. Spain likes to use arms, strong symbols, South Korea likes to use kisses, India and Mexico like to use the symbol of folding their hands, and Turkey, which has just undergone a national coup, is a typical smiley face symbol. According to the Daily Mail, July 17 is World Emoji Day every year. Twitter publishes a list of the most popular emojis in countries around the world. The research shows that Americans and Brits use emojis most often to represent exhaustion, while Turks use smiley faces, French and Italians use romantic symbols such as hearts, and Germans prefer thumbs-up praise symbols. The research shows that Americans don't use emojis often, and they don't seem to express a positive attitude enough, because they use the exhaustion symbol most often. In contrast, Turks seem to be more optimistic, and they love to send smiley faces. The French and Italians use heart-shaped emojis most often associated with love, which is perhaps not surprising, considering that these two countries are widely regarded as the most romantic countries in the world. But surprisingly, the Japanese also seem to like using the beating heart emoji, which is often used to show love. The Saudis prefer the more bizarre blue heart symbol, which is often seen as cold. South Koreans prefer the lip kiss symbol. In South American countries like Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, people like to use musical symbols. Australians are more positive, often opting for the thumbs-up emoji. More surprisingly, Germans also like the symbol, even though they have always been described as serious and stereotypical. South Africans love the symbol of raising their hands in the air, while Spaniards like to show off their arm muscles. Indians and Mexicans are mostly religious, so they prefer the symbol of clasping their hands together. World Emoji Day was first invented by Jeremy Burge, a Briton who is also the founder of the emoji database Emojipedia. "I realized that there wasn't a holiday celebrating the birth of emoji yet, so I decided to create one," Mr. Birch said. "July 17 was a good choice because the emoji feature of the Apple Calendar app started appearing on Apple's iOS operating system." World Emoji Day was first mentioned on July 11, 2014, when Mr. Birch launched a new Twitter account, @WorldEmojiDay. To celebrate this year's World Emoji Day, Twitter encouraged people to send their favorite emoji. Twitter also created customized stickers. Last May, emoji was named the fastest-spreading language in the world. History practice speculates that July 17, 2014 was the first World Emoji Day. Burch believes that the popularity of emojis stems from different reasons. He said: "We don't like to make phone calls unless necessary, and using emojis can fill in the lack of body language or tone expression. Technically, we have a lot of different emojis, but they usually only appear on one platform. Emojis have become part of standard text, making them look more like extra punctuation." Not long ago, Google released new emojis in order to adapt to the diversity needs of users. The new emojis include 11 professions, from rock stars to scientists, etc., each divided into two types of men and women, including all different skin tones. In addition, Google's existing 33 emojis have also been upgraded, including the division into male and female symbols. The Unicode Consortium, the official body responsible for setting character standards for the computer industry, also released 72 new emojis in an upgrade in June. "I'm going to wear a T-shirt on Sunday that represents the theme of World Emoji Day," said Mr. Birch. "If I have the opportunity to leave London, I'd like to go to Hampshire for the World Emoji Day race. Most of the time, I spend some time looking at interesting content that people share, and I'm really looking forward to what emojis people will post tomorrow! Evans, professor of linguistics at Bangor University in the UK, pointed out that emoji has become the fastest-growing interoperable language in the world.
