World Emoji Day is observed every year on 17 July. The day is recognised to promote and encourage the use of emojis, which are also called emoticons.
Emojis or emoticons are small digital icons that are used in e-communication to express ideas, emotions, and concepts. The use of emojis has become quite popular on several social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and others. People often use emojis in their text messages or social media posts to make the digital communication even more interesting.
World Emoji Day is celebrated to highlight the importance of emojis in modern communication. It's a day to recognise how emoticons improve our online chats, and make our communications more clear, funny, and emotive.

History and Significance of World Emoji Day 2023
In 2014, the World Emoji Day was established by Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia, an emoji reference website that has listed the meaning and usage of all the emojis.
Emojis have become a crucial component of electronic communications including text messages, emails, online chats, and more. Using emojis bridge linguistic barriers and enhance text-based conversations with a deeper level of emotional expressions.
Emojipedia actively promotes the World Emoji Day, and invites people to take part in emoji-themed activities and debates, along with other emoji-related websites and social media accounts.
Sometimes a simple emoji is enough to get us out of a tricky situation or to end an unnecessary conversation. In short, we all use emojis at one point or another so why not celebrate the day for these cute digital icons.
