Jeremy Burge of Emojipedia, (the London based founder) announced the celebration of World Emoji Day worldwide in 2004.
For several years, these modern-day hieroglyphs have been assisting people in digital communication. Do you know who invented emoticons? The famous Japanese coder invented heart emoticons in 1999, enabling Japanese pagers to send and receive them.
Undeniably, the last back invented heart emoji has been the most lovable and popular emoticon of the digital world.

Now with the variety of heart emojis available on the keyboard, like red heart, pink or heart suite, it allows the senders to send emojis in the context of the conversation, mood or feelings.
Similarly, the digital keyboard is filled with tons of emojis that people don’t even know or understand. So, here in this article, let’s understand the real meaning of frequently used emojis in real life.
