According to a professor in the UK, emojis(表情符号) are developing faster than any other language in Britain. These images(图案) first appeared in Japanese mobile phones in the 1990s and are now very popular.

Why do we love them so much?

We really seem to like “big red heart” emojis! But why? They let us have fun and make people laugh. In the UK, the most-used emojis are “face with tears of joy”, and “love heart”.

Emojis also play a role in promoting diversity(多样性) and representation(代表性).

Emojis now come in five different skin colors to represent different countries. There is also an emoji of a woman wearing a headscarf, which came out after a German teenager campaigned(发起运动) for an emoji to represent her.

What is the future of emojis?

Are emojis developing so quickly that they will soon compete with English as a global(全球的) language? Or is technology changing so fast that emojis will die after the next big thing comes along? Even technology and language experts have different opinions on emojis. What do you think? I think we should keep our eyes open for new developments!
