All About Emojis

Emojis were first invented in Japan in the

1990s. These days, most people use

Emojis. There are almost 2,000 of them! You

can find an Emoji for almost anything. They let people  express ideas with pictures. They can be a lot of fun and a  good way to show someone how you feel without using  words. Also, they help people say what they mean with less  effort, which is a good thing. Even young kids who don’t  know how to read yet can understand them.
