✬ ✬ The Fascinating Journey of Emojis: From Japan to Global Fame
Once upon a time, in the late 1990s, communication on digital devices used to be monotonous. Text messages were limited to words, punctuation, and special characters . It primarily changed when a brilliant Japanese designer, Shigetaka Kurita, introduced a spark of life to the digital world: the emoji!
The Birth of Emojis (1999)
The word “emoji” comes from Japanese: ‘e’ (絵) meaning picture and ‘moji’ (文字) meaning character. Kurita was working for a Japanese mobile company, NTT DoCoMo, when he realized that plain text wasn’t enough to convey emotions. Inspired by weather symbols and manga, he created 176 simple icons, including a heart , a smiling face , and even a sun 
.

and traditional Indian sarees 
. Emojis were no longer just fun—they became a medium for representation and inclusivity.
