Emoji (絵文字えもじ?, Japanese pronunciation: [emodʑi])
are the ideograms or smileys used in Japanese electronic messages and Web pages, the use of which is spreading outside Japan. Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji literally means "picture" (e) + "character" (moji). The characters are used much like ASCII emoticons or kaomoji, but a wider range is provided, and the icons are standardized and built into the handsets.
Would've been helpful ..... or is there an intentional momentum to speak newspeak and leave us speakers of English to question either;
you and what you mean .....
or remain silent as we question ourselves ?
I’m honestly shocked that you attacked him/her for this. It’s a pretty safe assumption that someone who uses Internet forums (such as this one) knows what an emoji is.
It’s kind of like assuming that a person who lives it Texas knows what a tortilla is...
