<p>Happy World Emoji Day! To celebrate this special day on July 17, we’re taking a closer look at the not-so-humble emoji.</p>
<p>Emojis have come a long way over the last few years, but (aside from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics) today’s emojis originated in the late 1800s. The first emojis came from facial expressions formed out of punctuation, and it’s fair to say that these are still pretty popular today :-O</p>
<p><!-- pagebreak --></p>
<p>Over the last few years, emojis (or emoticons) have exploded in variety and usage, with an increasing number of people using emojis in the workplace. Emojis are almost everywhere, from text-based conversations on email or Slack, to marketing materials and content aimed at customers and clients.</p>
<p>Emojis have become a huge part of everyday language, helping to express emotion, tone, personality, and intent (important when you’re not in a face-to-face conversation) and make conversations more fun. Plus, you can use emoticons to break up text and add structure (like bullet points) in areas where text formatting options are limited.</p>
<p>From custom Slack emojis to emojis in your text editor, there are so many ways to incorporate emojis into your everyday work conversations and marketing. So, let’s look at what’s new for emojis in 2020, how to encourage emoji usage at work, and some practical tips to help your team confidently use emojis (without overdoing it).</p>
