\"nerd\"Early last week media company, Sony, announced that they will be releasing\u00a0a movie about emojis<\/a>\u00a0in August 2017. We know that Hollywood will make a movie out of anything, but emojis? Are these little symbols such a large part of our daily life and online culture that they justify a full-blown movie?<\/p>\n

Not too long ago, when online chatting and SMS’s caught\u00a0on, people expressed their emotions with basic symbols made up of punctuation marks, for example :) :( or :P.\u00a0These were called emoticons and according to the Mental Floss\u00a0<\/a>they first appeared in\u00a0a magazine in 1881.<\/p>\n

Emojis, on the other hand, were\u00a0created around 1998 by Shigetaka Kurita,\u00a0a Japanese economics student who worked\u00a0for a cellphone operator. The word “emoji” comes from Japan and doesn’t have a connection with the “emotions”. The “e”\u00a0translates to \u201cimage\u201d and \u201cmoji\u201d to \u201ccharacter\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, these symbols didn’t look the same on all platforms and devices they were used. In 2007 Google adopted emojis and because they\u00a0had the same code points, they always displayed the same, whichever device or platform you used.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From 2010 onwards, some emoji character sets have been incorporated into Unicode, a standard system for indexing characters, which has allowed them to be used outside Japan and to be standardized across different operating systems. A company called Unicode Consortium is now responsible for regulating emojis and approving new ones.<\/p>\n

The Oxford Dictionary named 😂 (Face With Tears of Joy) its 2015 Word of the year. It also noted that 2015 has seen a sizable increase in the use of the word “emoji” and recognized its impact on popular culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Around six billion emojis are sent on mobile messaging apps every day, according to Digiday, a media company that specializes in digital media. (http:\/\/www.cbc.ca<\/a>) So if you’re still wondering how relevant emojis are in online culture, that should be a good indication.<\/p>\n

\"nerd\"Mediamaatskappy Sony, het verlede week aangekondig dat hulle in Augustus, 2017,\u00a0\u0149 fliek oor emojis<\/a>, gaan vrystel. Ons weet teen die tyd dat Hollywood enige verskoning sal gebruik om \u0149 fliek te maak, maar emojis? Is hierdie klein simbooltjies so \u0149 groot deel van ons lewens en die aanlyn-kultuur dat dit \u0149 behoorlike fliek verdien?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nie te lank gelede nie, toe aanlyn kletskamers en smse posgevat het, het mense hul emosies uitgedruk met basiese simbole wat bestaan het uit leestekens, byvoorbeeld\u00a0:) :( of :P. Hierdie tekens is emotikons genoem en volgens\u00a0Mental Floss<\/a>\u00a0het hulle die eerste keer reeds in 1881 \u00a0in \u0149 tydskrif verskyn. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Emojis is in 1998 deur\u00a0Shigetaka Kurita, \u0149 Japanese ekonomie-student wat vir \u0149 selfoonmaatskappy gewerk het, geskep. Die woord “emoji” het niks met “emotikons” te doen nie. Die “e” beteken “beeld” en “moji” kan vertaal word as “karakter”.<\/p>\n

Aan die begin het hierdie simbole ongelukkig nie dieselfde gelyk op alle platforms en toestelle\u00a0nie. In 2007 het Google emojis begin ondersteun en omdat dit dieselfde kodepunte gehad het, het dit oral dieselfde gelyk, op watter platform of toestel jy dit ook al gebruik het.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vanaf 2010 is sommige emoji karakterstelle ingelyf by Unicode, \u0149 standaard-stelsel wat gebruik word om karakters te indekseer. Gevolglik was dit moontlik om die karakters buite Japan te kan gebruik en te standaardiseer sodat dit oor verskeie bedryfstelsels gebruik kan word. \u0149 Maatskappy met die naam Unicode Consortium is\u00a0tans\u00a0verantwoordelik vir die regulasie van emojis en vir die goedkeuring van nuwes.<\/p>\n

In 2015 het die\u00a0Oxford Dictionary\u00a0😂\u00a0<\/em>as Woord-van-die-jaar aangewys. Dit het ook daarop gewys dat daar \u0149 redelike toename in die gebruik van die woord “emoji” was en die impak daarvan op popul\u00eare kultuur benadruk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Volgens Digiday, \u0149 maatskappy wat spesialiseer in digitale media, word daagliks ongeveer ses biljoen emojis word op boodskap-toepassings gestuur.\u00a0(http:\/\/www.cbc.ca<\/a>) As jy nogsteeds wonder of emojis relevant is in aanlynkultuur, behoort dit \u0149 goeie aanduiding te wees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
