Every year on July 17th, the world celebrates World Emoji Day, an unofficial holiday dedicated to these small digital icons. This day was inspired by the date displayed on the calendar emoji in the Apple iCal application, which debuted in 2002. The holiday was officially established in 2014 by Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia, who chose this iconic date.
World Emoji Day quickly gained popularity and became a day when tech companies often announce new emoji-related updates. In 2015, this day was the most discussed topic on Twitter. A year later, Google adjusted its calendar emoji to display July 17th across all its platforms.
Today, World Emoji Day is a day full of creative celebrations, where people around the world communicate through emojis, expressing their emotions and thoughts in the universal language of the digital age.
