- A user on Usenet invented 🙂 when he wanted to clarify that his sentence was sarcastic. That’s accepted to be the origin of the emoticon, but it’s not technically an emoticon. In the 1990s, messaging software started automatically changing 🙂 and 🙁 into 🙂 and ☹. Later, features started to become standard where the user can insert a “face icon” into their text, but that was limited to the application used for the message and non-standard. Japanese tech companies in the 2000s went a little overboard with these icons and started added tons of them into their custom messaging applications. When the Unicode Consortium sought to standardize international character sets, so that every device can read a webpage in any language without having to install specialized fonts, the asked each county to submit a set of characters in their native language. Japan sort of raised their hand “Um… we’ve got a standard pictographical alphabet, phonetical alphabet, ancient alphabet, and this thing with pictures that the kids are really into that we call ’emoji’ “. The Consortium was like, “K”, and that’s how we got emojis! 🤡👾💙✌💅🧙🦽🤹🐹🥐🕍🕍🕍
