World Emoji Day 2022: Which are the most commonly used emojis? Here’s top 5

New Delhi: Emoticons or emojis have significantly changed how we communicate in the digital age. People frequently use emojis to express or convey their feelings and sentiments in texts. Emojis have significantly increased our ability to communicate, to the point where many smartphone keyboards now automatically suggest the right emoticons as we type. As a result, July 17 is observed as World Emoji Day throughout the globe.

The idea for World Emoji Day was developed by Jeremy Burge, the creator of Emojipedia, in 2013. It's interesting that we celebrate this day on July 17 because the emoji for "calendar" represents the date. The internet currently offers more than 3,500 emoticons.

Here’s the list of 5 most commonly used emojis:

Face with tears of joy emoticon

The emoticon "Face with tears of joy" shows someone who is so happy that tears are streaming down their cheeks. An emotional-tone marker that denotes joy and mirth might be used when someone says or does something funny or embarrassing.

The "big puppy-dog eyes" emoji can be used in a variety of contexts. Others use it to express their worry or displeasure, while yet others use it to express their worry. The begging face emoji is a wonderful substitute for other social media emoticons when you want to communicate sympathy, love, or adoration for someone else.
