  • Apple, Google Continue Inclusive Push with New Emoji 17 July 2019, by Michelle Chapman
    Apple, Google continue inclusive push with new emoji 17 July 2019, by Michelle Chapman Google, meanwhile, will offer 71 versions of couples with different skin tones once the additions are completed. Google is also adding an emoji for the Diya lamp so that Diwali can be celebrated alongside Christmas and Thanksgiving. New emoji routinely pop up every year. Earlier this year the Unicode Consortium approved 71 new variations of emoji for couples of color. Apple and Google unveiled their designs Wednesday to coincide with World Emoji Day . Anyone can propose an emoji. But for it to make it to phones and computers, it has to be approved by Unicode. The nonprofit group, mostly made up of people from large tech companies like Apple, Google and Facebook, translates emoji into one standard, so that a person in France, for example, can send an emoji or a text message to a person in the U.S. and it will look the same, no matter what brand of phone or operating system they use. This image provided by Apple shows new emoji's released by Apple. Both Apple and Google are rolling out dozens of new emojis that, as usual, included cute crittters, but also ones that expand the boundaries of inclusion. The announcement coincides with Wednesday, July 17, 2019 World Emoji Day. (Apple via AP) Apple and Google are rolling out dozens of new emoji that include cute critters, of course, but also expand the number of images of human diversity. Apple Inc. is releasing new variants of its holding hands emoji that allow people to pick any combination of skin tone and gender, 75 possible combinations in all.

  • Emojis: a Grapholinguistic Approach
    Emojis: A Grapholinguistic Approach Christa Dürscheid & Dimitrios Meletis Abstract. The present article stands at the interface of CMC research and grapholinguistics. After outlining which features are typical of the writing of pri­ vate text messages, the focus of the first part of the paper (Sections 2 and 3) lies on the use of emojis. Notably, emoji use is not—as is commonly done—analyzed under a pragmatic perspective, but grapholinguistically, at the graphetic and graphematic levels: emojis are conceptualized as visual shapes that may assume graphematic functions within a given writing system. In the second part (Sec­ tion 4), it is underlined that all variants of written digital communication (such as the use of emojis, but also all other characters) are made possible only due to the Unicode Consortium’s decisions; this, finally, is argued to have far­reaching consequences for the future of writing. 1. Preliminary Remarks In this paper, the use of emojis will be considered within a frame­ work known in the German­language research area as “Schriftlinguis­ tik” (grapholinguistics). As will be demonstrated, this term is not equiv­ alent to the terms graphemics or graphematics. In a much broader sense, grapholinguistics entails different aspects of writing (among them re­ search on scripts and writing systems, the history of writing, orthogra­ phy, graphematics, the acquisition of reading and writing, text design and text­image­relations, and differences between the written and spo­ ken modalities of language) (cf. Dürscheid 2016).1 This paper’s main Christa Dürscheid Department of German Studies, University of Zurich Schönberggasse 9, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland [email protected] Dimitrios Meletis Department of Linguistics, University of Graz Merangasse 70/III, 8010 Graz, Austria [email protected] 1.

  • 95% of Internet Users Have Used an Emoji. Over 10 Billion Emojis Are Sent Daily
    95% Of Internet Users Have Used An Emoji. Over 10 Billion Emojis Are Sent Daily July 17th recognizes World Emoji Day and many of the world’s symbolic icons for digital calendars. The day encourages us to use emojis to send unique messages. Before the emoji, there were emoticons. Emoticons (emotion + icon) was developed as an expression of emotions in the cold hard texts that were devoid of them. Emoji, a Japanese expression, roughly means “picture word” and was created by Shigetaka Kurita in 1990. While working for the Japanese telecom company NTT Docomo, Kurita would design these picture words as a feature on their pagers to make them more appealing to teens. The word “Emoji” is derived from the Japanese words e (for picture) and moji (for character), apparently the seeming connection to the words emotion and emoticon are purely incidental! The release of the first iPhone by Apple in 2007 had an emoji keyboard embedded into the phone to nab the Japanese market. While not intended for U.S. users to find, they did and quickly figured out how to use it. Every year new emojis (both emoji and emojis are acceptable plural forms of the word) are developed. The emojipedia.org keeps track of all the emoji updates across all platforms and operating systems. Over 1800 emojis cover much more than just emotions. Over 900M emojis are sent every day without text on Facebook Messengerr More than 700M emojis are used in Facebook posts every day. The biggest day for emoji usage on Messenger is New Year’s Eve For 2020, 117 new emojis are to be introduced, including a toothbrush, bubble tea, Transgender flag, black cat and more.

  • Emoji Through the Lens of Perceived Gender
    Emoji through the Lens of Perceived Gender Undergraduate Honors Contract Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree with Honors Research Distinction in the Max M. Fisher College of Business of The Ohio State University By Yingjian Chen Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Specialization in Marketing The Ohio State University 2020 Thesis Committee Dr. Curtis P. Haugtvedt, Primary Advisor Dr. Nino Hardt, Secondary Advisor Dr. Andrea Prud’homme 1 Copyrighted by Yingjian Chen 2020 2 Abstract Past social media advertising campaigns highlight that when emojis “fit” the products, emojis can help create buzz through social media marketing. Many studies suggest that products possess gender traits that impact consumer behavior. However, no study demonstrates if emojis possess such gender traits and whether emojis’ gender traits affect consumer behavior in the same way as perceived product gender. These gaps form the basis for the three studies in this research. In study 1, participants (N = 172, Female = 98, Male = 74) provided open-ended word descriptions of emojis as well as the rating of an emojis’ gender traits. Overall, participants think emojis have masculine or feminine traits. Specifically, heart-related emojis, smiling face emojis, and sad emojis were generally considered more feminine, while emojis of body parts were generally rated as more masculine. Besides, feminine emojis were generally associated with stronger and more positive sentiment and masculine emojis were associated with weaker and less positive sentiment. In study 2, participants (N = 219, Female = 100, Male = 119) were shown different versions of product promotion tweets, with or without emojis.

  • 'Emoji Meme' in Popular Culture and Its Consumer
    International Journal of Management, Technology And Engineering ISSN NO : 2249-7455 ‘EMOJI MEME’ IN POPULAR CULTURE AND ITS CONSUMER CONNECT Aleesha Ann Jose1, Dr. P. E. Thomas2 1Department of Communication and Media Studies, Bharathiar University, India 2Department of Communication and Media Studies, Bharathiar University, India ABSTRACT Popular culture or pop culture is the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images, and other phenomena that are within the mainstream of a given culture. Emoji culture is one phase of popular culture that evolved as a result of technologies and digital practices. This paper centers on the idea of emojis and coins the term ‘emoji meme’. A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". Emojis also could be called as memes since it is contagious and has occupied most of the personal and social activities of humans such as communication, relationships, arts, public relations, branding, advertising, and marketing. Thus, ‘emoji memes’ could be defined as an emotion, idea or concept that spreads rapidly from person to person through emojis (use and application). As an addendum to communication, emoji has broadened its coverage drastically based on various functions it performs. Consumerism is the freshly and predominantly affected area in which emojis perform persuasive function (the communicative goal of influencing the attitudes and/or behaviour of an addressee or audience). Consumerism is a social as well as economic order which encourages the buying of goods and services in ever-greater amounts. Adopting ‘emojis’ in communicating with consumers, people are persuaded to purchase goods and consume materials in excess of their basic needs.

    17 July 2020 THE HYBRID LEARNING COMMONS As we venture into the next phase of getting back to school with a hybrid approach to teaching, the Learning Commons will also go into a hybrid way of functioning. The two websites that were created during the full lock- down will continue to be updated. Links to interesting websites that tie in with the themes that the various grades are studying will be added. We will also continue to keep an eye out for opportunities to watch stage productions and plays that are being made available online. The Learning Commons itself has moved into a “kerbside” delivery and pick-up system of loaning books. The space is not open for general browsing, but we are providing a limited service. Books can be requested via an email, Hangout request or reservation request. Email requests can be sent to: [email protected] or [email protected]. The Hangout Chat is called “Media and Learning Commons” and can be found at the following URL address: https://hangouts.google.com/group/kf627xpZADMxQDHP6. Access to the Learning Commons Online Catalogue is now available via a link on both of the websites. This plat- form allows you to search for books and other media by title, author or subject.
