Similar to the English emoticon (”emotion” + “icon”), which use ASCII text to create facial expressions representing moods, emoji are pictographs and exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals. The word emoji comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”.
