We all use emojis. Bright icons are used today by people of different ages and social groups, they are more and more common in advertising, journalism, and other spheres of activity. Someone uses them in every message, someone even adds bright icons to business correspondence to dilute the official tone. And yet the real meaning of most emoji are not known to everyone. In this article we will tell you about the names and meanings of the most commonly used emoji symbols and the history of their origin.

The real boom in emoji culture happened in the early 2010s, or more precisely in 2011, when Apple added an emoji keyboard to its gadgets. Initially it was intended only for the Japanese market, but when users in other countries started trying to add such a keyboard, Apple decided to make it available for everyone.

Of course, these are not even 10% of all the emoji in existence today, but they are definitely the most commonly used. Below we want to separate the emoji with Japanese characters into a separate group, because they are still included in every basic emoji set.

What Does This Emoji Mean ?

Often used to signify innocence or a plea for understanding, this emoji can encapsulate a multitude of feelings, such as vulnerability, yearning, or genuine sadness. The emoji has large, tearful eyes and a slight frown, encapsulating an almost childlike desire for sympathy or approval.

On the other hand, the ? emoji features hearts around a smiling face, serving as an amplification of warmth and affection. This emoji signifies a more encompassing, almost euphoric form of love or appreciation, often employed to emphasize deep emotional connection or high regard.

Meaning of This Emoji ?

At the other end of the emotional spectrum, the ? emoji can be seen as an expression of discomfort or stress. Its flushed face and droplets of sweat encapsulate feelings of being overwhelmed, whether due to physical heat or an emotionally intense situation.

? Meaning of This Emoji

The ? emoji, portraying a face with a hand covering its mouth, often suggests that the user is amused but perhaps in a more reserved, almost shy manner. It can also imply that someone has said something surprising or even scandalous.

It would be nice to have support for emojis in dynatrace dashboards directly, maybe by adding a font if it is missing, and to have support for markdown too, e.g. ':smiley:' for a smiley inserted in a markdown tile.

Hi Malaik

For me it works pressing the keys when in the edit window for a markdown tile. Then an emoji window opens and I can select and insert emojis by clicking on them. Another way is to copy/past e.g. from:

I've spent insane amounts of time trying to block emojis. Following any existing code on the Internet or Stack Exchange is a recipe for disaster: they all leave out numerous symbols, and perhaps not just because of incompetence/ignorance: it seems as if Unicode is constantly getting new "blocks" added to it, year after year.

Even though one is actually called "Emoticons", that only contains a small fraction of the "emojis". The rest are in those other categories above, and possibly (apparently) in further ones. And it also may be that I have blocked ranges which also contain legitimate symbols...

Your best bet if you want to detect and possible code against what is an emoji or not is to refer to official emoji reference likes provided by the source reference everyone uses: The official Unicode, Inc. lists found here.

I am trying to write a python program to detect emoji and convert it into text. I am able to convert emojis like " ?" to text using the emoji library. But if I have symbols like ":-)" or ":D" in my text, how to detect & convert that into equivalent emoji(the actual picture) or text.

There's no straightforward way to do what you want to do. First of all, you have to decide which character combination you want to recognize in addition to those the emoji module does. Then you can search for each of these.

I'm entering emojis as symbols - the same one that you can find on MacOS (by pressing the cmd+ctrl+space). It doesn't matter if I insert emoji with my custom implementation or MacOS native one, but the always have padding on the right side. Here's the image:

If you have different descriptors, I would suggest making sure that your "Help Text" under the label in the form explains what you want the symbols to represent. Another option would be to use a text drop-down column and then in your sheet use a formula to translate that into the matching symbol.

Hi all, I used some emojis for a drop down but they do not show up on the PDF reports even though they show up on the screen, would anyone know why they don't show up when pdfd? @Andre Star @Genevieve P. Thanks

Originating on Japanese mobile phones in 1997, emoji became increasingly popular worldwide in the 2010s after being added to several mobile operating systems.[5][6][7] They are now considered to be a large part of popular culture in the West and around the world.[8][9] In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries named the Face with Tears of Joy emoji (?) the word of the year.[10][11]

Wingdings, a font invented by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes, was released by Microsoft in 1990.[20] It could be used to send pictographs in rich text messages, but would only load on devices with the Wingdings font installed.[21] In 1995, the French newspaper Le Monde announced that Alcatel would be launching a new phone, the BC 600. Its welcome screen displayed a digital smiley face, replacing the usual text seen as part of the "welcome message" often seen on other devices at the time.[22] In 1997, J-Phone launched the SkyWalker DP-211SW, which contained a set of 90 emoji. It is thought to be the first set of its kind. Its designs, each measuring 12 by 12 pixels were monochrome, depicting numbers, sports, the time, moon phases and the weather. It contained the Pile of Poo emoji in particular.[21] The J-Phone model experienced low sales, and the emoji set was thus rarely used.[23]

In 1999, Shigetaka Kurita created 176 emoji as part of NTT DoCoMo's i-mode, used on its mobile platform.[24][25][26] They were intended to help facilitate electronic communication, and to serve as a distinguishing feature from other services.[5] Due to their influence, Kurita's designs were once claimed to be the first cellular emoji;[21] however, Kurita has denied that this is the case.[27][28] According to interviews, he took inspiration from Japanese manga where characters are often drawn with symbolic representations called manpu (such as a water drop on a face representing nervousness or confusion), and weather pictograms used to depict the weather conditions at any given time. He also drew inspiration from Chinese characters and street sign pictograms.[26][29][30] The DoCoMo i-Mode set included facial expressions, such as smiley faces, derived from a Japanese visual style commonly found in manga and anime, combined with kaomoji and smiley elements.[31] Kurita's work is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.[32]

Kurita's emoji were brightly colored, albeit with a single color per glyph. General-use emoji, such as sports, actions and weather, can readily be traced back to Kurita's emoji set.[33] Notably absent from the set were pictograms that demonstrated emotion. The yellow-faced emoji in current use evolved from other emoticon sets and cannot be traced back to Kurita's work.[33] His set also had generic images much like the J-Phones. Elsewhere in the 1990s, Nokia phones began including preset pictograms in its text messaging app, which they defined as "smileys and symbols".[34] A third notable emoji set was introduced by Japanese mobile phone brand au by KDDI.[21][35]

The basic 12-by-12-pixel emoji in Japan grew in popularity across various platforms over the next decade. This was aided by the popularity of DoCoMo i-mode, which for many was the origins of the smartphone.[clarification needed] The i-mode service also saw the introduction of emoji in conversation form on messenger apps. By 2004, i-mode had 40 million subscribers, exposing numerous people to emoji for the first time between 2000 and 2004. The popularity of i-mode led to other manufacturers offering their own emoji sets. While emoji adoption was high in Japan during this time, the competitors failed to collaborate to create a uniform set of emoji to be used across all platforms in the country.[36]

The Universal Coded Character Set (Unicode), controlled by the Unicode Consortium and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2, had already been established as the international standard for text representation (ISO/IEC 10646) since 1993, although variants of Shift JIS remained relatively common in Japan. Unicode included several characters which would subsequently be classified as emoji, including some from North American or Western European sources such as DOS code page 437, ITC Zapf Dingbats or the WordPerfect Iconic Symbols set.[37][38] Unicode coverage of written characters was extended several times by new editions during the 2000s, with little interest in incorporating the Japanese cellular emoji sets (deemed out of scope),[39] although symbol characters which would subsequently be classified as emoji continued to be added. For example, Unicode 4.0 contained 16 new emoji, which included direction arrows, a warning triangle, and an eject button.[40] Besides Zapf Dingbats, other dingbat fonts such as Wingdings or Webdings also included additional pictographic symbols in their own custom pi font encodings; unlike Zapf Dingbats, however, many of these would not be available as Unicode emoji until 2014.[41] ff782bc1db
