3 Facts, for World Emoji Day.
1. Shigetaka Kurita
is viewed as the
'Father of Emoji.'.
The Japanese designer created the first emojis
in 1999 for a program where users were limited to

2. The most popular emojis
vary from country to country.
In the U.S., Canada and the U.K.,
the "despairing crying face" is most used.
3. The father
of emoticons
dislikes emojis.
Remember when you had to
type this, :) , instead of an emoji?.
