Dear Tamanna,
Take love The way those black eyes of yours forced me to get lost ....
Today is the day to write love letters like the novels of the eighties?
Humayun Ahmed said in Bahubrihi novel, love letter is outdated. In place of the giant Culver's love letter, only "I love you" - that was enough for the writer Humayun. That day is also gone. The words "I love you" seem more inappropriate these days. Nowadays Himu-Rupara confines their virtual conversation to the word "love". As civilization progresses, human time seems to be diminishing day by day. And the language of human expression is changing with time. It seems that it is not going to change, it would be better to say 'it is getting shorter'.
The less the expression of language, the more important the expression of ideas. So in the virtual times spent with loved ones, it is very important to express deep emotions. In urban mechanical life, the more intense expressions of emotion are the ones that keep the relationships alive day after day. And nowadays it is the responsibility of a 'Love' emoji to express the word 'love' a little darker! In fact, the virtual entity that is patiently putting itself closer to a loved one is the poor emoji. So let's express our gratitude to him and learn a little today about emojis and emoticons, two integral parts of expressing emotions in the virtual world!
Let's start with emoticons. The word Emoticon was born by combining the words Emotion and icon. Emoticons are symbols made up of English letters, punctuation and numbers that help to express emotions. Yes, that's right. Typing on the ancient Nokia 1100 :-),: - ^) The symbols are actually emoticons! Scott Fahlmann, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, sent a message to his computer science bulletin board on September 19, 1982. There he said to indicate humorous things :-), and non-humorous things :-( This was actually the first use of emoticons. We still use these two emoticons regularly.
Now let's hope about emojis. The word Emoji consists of two Japanese words E and Moji. E means picture, and Moji means character. So emoji means hieroglyphics. In today's virtual world, it is almost impossible to express yourself without emojis. In the 1990s, the Japanese company DoCoMo took the initiative to present information in a more attractive way through various symbols. Shigetaka Kurita, a famous Japanese designer, was on their team at that time. He created the first emoji in 1999.
In fact, the company wanted to reveal the information through various visuals. For example, today's weather means cloudy instead of the word 'cloudy' 🌦️, weather means sunny ☀️; To make the information interesting by using symbols like 🚖 (taxi) or 🚊 (train) or 🚌 (bus) to indicate the travel information. Kurita initially created 176 emojis. Emojis made by him became very popular in Japan at that time. As they became more popular in Japan, other mobile companies started using these emojis made by DoCoMo.
Even outside of Japan, many mobile companies became interested in using these emojis made by Kurita. It can be said that the globalization of emoji usage has started since then. In 2011, Apple hired a team of engineers to create emoji keyboards. With the emoji they created, Apple added the official emoji keyboard to their operating system iOS. However, emoji was added to the most popular operating system Android two years later.
Curita's 176 emojis are now housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The variety of hundreds of emojis we see on today's virtual keyboards all started with these 176 emojis. Emoji has evolved since Unicode officially added emojis in 2010. After 10 years of evolution and improvement, the 176 emojis created by Kurita now number more than 1,800.
The politicization of emo
The politicization of even such a small issue in the virtual world may be unknown to many. The politicization of emojis began in 2015 with the release of the Unicode Update Emoji. The flag section of the emoji shows the Israeli national flag, but not the Palestinian national flag. The conflict between Palestine and the state of Israel is an important chapter in world politics. Although later the Unicode flag section added the national flag of Palestine.
Since this emoji is used worldwide, its far-reaching effects should not be too much of a problem to imagine. Such behavior of Unicode on this sensitive and controversial issue really makes one think. Food emojis also include famous dishes from the West, Europe, Asia, but no African menu. Although famous African dishes like injera and fufur are quite popular all over the world. The lack of food representing the African region has drawn criticism and sparked controversy over racism.
The effects of emoji on personal and social life
The effects of emojis on gender perception are far-reaching. In 2015, Unicode added several emojis to the People section, such as Working Woman, Weightlifter, Gay Father, Gay Mother, Two Fathers Family, Two Mothers Family, etc. These emojis have a very good effect on eliminating gender inequality. Emojis have served as a strong message to the world. Also in the People section different skin colors of emojis are added. Previously there were only yellow people emojis. But after the update of 2015, some more skin colors including white, mixed, black were added there. The effects of these emojis are considered to be very important in eradicating racism. The emoji of the hijab-wearing woman was also a great example of respect for religious customs.
Emoji is no longer just a language aid. The number of emojis allowed so far is over 1600. These emojis themselves are enough to express something. Interestingly, since it is very easy to express yourself using emojis, emojis have been recognized as a unique language in many parts of the world. The use of emo to express thoughts has become an integral part of our lives, so the day may not be far off when emo will be recognized as a distinct language.
Let me tell you one thing at the end of it all. If you want, you can also add an emo of your own idea in Unicode. For this, Unicode needs to be informed about the pattern of emoji and its important impact on human life. If the emoji you provide has significant effects, Unicode will add that emoji to their emoji list after verification. Below is the link to the emo submission. So why are you late? Let's create a new emoji today!
