What are Emotions and Emojis?
Emojis are dominating everywhere, in every sale, website, ad, and social media copy. But the use of emojis didn’t start just a few years back, it’s been used since the 80s as emoticons.
Emoticons can be said as the ancestors of emojis. There were no smartphones in the 80s and 90s, so, people started to show emotions by combining certain keyboard characters to make emotional facial expressions.
On the other hand, emojis are small pictures made up of pixels. They are not only limited to facial expressions but are also used to showcase activities and objects. In every New Year and in every field, new emojis are designed and added to smartphone keyboards.
Even though emoticons inspired the innovation of emojis but they’re two different things. We’ve seen that emoticons are made up of only keyboard characters but emojis are small pictures made up of pixels.
Emojis look more realistic than emoticons but both have their own places in the world.
Let’s see some of the statistics regarding Emojis in marketing:
