More DescriptionThis is the first book to explain the genesis
and cultural significance of emoji, the world's
cutest and most popular form of shorthand. If you have a Twitter account or regularly send text messages,
it's highly likely that you've used or received emoji. These
characters include symbols and pictograms that represent
a host of everyday objects and activities plus, crucially, a
selection of faces that denote a range of emotions from
happy to sad, angry, confused, surprised, or tired. The word
"emoji" literally translates from Japanese as "picture" (e) and
"character" (moji).
