It's World Emoji Day, and we take this day to express our gratitude to these round little faces that help us express a myriad of emotions, where words and language often fail us.

In no other year have emojis played a more crucial role in expressing our feelings, considering our dependence on technology to communicate with everyone – from our bosses to our grandmothers.
