Visual symbols are one of the most ancient categories of language and one of the many forms of language. Emojis are distinctive in that they are visual symbols that improve written communication.
Text messages are no longer the only means of communication in the Internet era. How many happy images, flying hearts, avocados, and unicorns do you see in your social media feeds and text messages? Emoji are more ubiquitous than ever on the internet, so it is only fitting that they have their own special day. World Emoji Day, celebrated on July 17, validates our fixation with these ubiquitous graphic symbols. According to various psychologists and researchers, they may play a crucial role in the way we communicate today, despite the fact that they may appear frivolous at times. In fact, the “” emoji was the 2015 Word of the Year according to Oxford Dictionary. It’s a healthy obsession to bombard your friends’ mobile devices with as many emoticons as possible today.
Visual symbols are one of the most ancient categories of language and one of the many forms of language. Emojis are distinctive in that they are visual symbols that improve written communication. They can supplant words or entire phrases without losing their meaning. Emojis were initially created as a means to visually represent emotions. In text-based communication, they convey emotion through irony or humour and even imply tone of voice or body language. They provoke emotional responses in individuals, which can increase our empathy. As we become better at identifying our own emotions, we also become better at detecting the emotions of others. It appears that “emoji-tional empathy” is on the rise. Emojis help us better comprehend something visually when words can lead to misunderstandings. In the age of the Internet, they help us communicate more efficiently and effectively. Let’s be honest, they’re adorable and somewhat addictive, but they serve a much greater purpose. They enhance our ability to effectively communicate with others and convey our intended meaning. When in doubt, use an emoji!
