It is a known fact that most of us communicate with our near and dear ones via social network. And this communication generally includes a lot of smiles known as “emojis”. In total there are 2,666 emojis in the Unicode Standard as of June 2017. The first emoji was created in 1999 in Japan by Shigetaka Kurita. These emojis have become so common in our lives that we have dedicated a special day for them. Well after having read that “World Emoji Day” is celebrated on 17th July every year - I was very curious to know how many and which emojis are used every day on an average.
Facebook – to which each one of us are addicted says that more than 60 million emojis are used on Facebook each day while more than 5 billion emojis are used via messenger.
Whether we want to convey that we’re extremely excited or really sad about something, we somehow find it easier to use an emoticon that describes the way we feel instead of trying to find the words to express it. Happy face emoji account for about 44 percent of all that are used, followed by sad faces at 14 percent, hearts at 13 percent, hand gestures at 5 percent, and the rest at very small percentages. Agree? Then let’s have a look at the 5 emojis which we all use often.
Laughing with Tears of Joy 
We cannot describe in words how expressive this emoji is. This emoji can be used in multiple situations. Maybe something made you laugh so hard that you started to tear up. Or maybe you’re so happy about something that you can’t help but shed a few tears. When was the last time you used this “emoji”?
Smiling with Heart Shaped eyes
Are you in love? Then what will be a better way of letting them know that you love them the most, even when you are extremely busy at work. This emoji has a look of complete and utter adoration on its face. Though this emoji is generally used to express love to your dear one, it can also be used to express love towards something like your pretty wedding gown or a birthday celebration which you cannot forget. Already started thinking of when had you used this emoji?
Thumbs Up 
This is a self-explanative emoji and can be used in many situations. We use it to express approval of something or encourage someone for having done a great job. So when did you give a “Thumbs-up” for encouraging your friend?
The winking face 
Are you the naughty one in the gang? Then the most obvious emoji you might have used would be a winking face. The winking face emoji implies that someone is just joking around in a playful way.
Loudly Crying
While no one wants to be this sad, sometimes, people need to express how bad a situation makes them feel. This is the perfect emoji for that. When was the last time you used this “emoji”?
We hope you found these emojis both entertaining and expressive. If yes – then do let us know which one is your favorite emoji!!!
