 Though the word emoji is now as ubiquitous in America as hello or goodbye, its etymology is actually Japanese. The term was coined in the ’90s, around the same time that Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita released the world’s first set of emoji. The noun derives from the Japanese e, meaning “picture,” and moji, meaning “letter” or “character.”
♦ Emoji are the ideograms or smileys used in Japanese electronic messages and webpages, the use of which is spreading outside Japan.
♦ Emojis (the plural can be either emoji or emojis) have been around since the late 1990s, but 2015 saw their use, and use of the word emoji, increase hugely.
