We all use emojis every day, so why not celebrate them?
Ahead of #WorldEmojiDay on July 17, a survey has revealed how #Indians interpret #emoticons differently from the rest of the #world. The survey conducted by #Slack in #collaboration with #Duolingo has revealed that around 58 percent of global survey respondents say they have been unaware of specific #emojis having multiple meanings.
The random double-opt-in survey included 9,400 hybrid office workers and was distributed equally across the US, the UK, Canada, France, Japan, China, #Singapore, #India, #Germany, #SouthKorea, and #Australia. The survey was commissioned by #Duolingo and #Slack between June 15 to June 27.
It also found that over a third of #French, #Australian and #German respondents agree that their company has its own #language of #emoji for internal #communication. This sentiment was higher in #Asia than in #Europe, with 66% of #Indian and 60% of #Chinese survey takers agreeing that their formal chats included #emoji language that was exclusive to the workplace.
#Communication has come a long way. From morse code to instant #messaging, there has been a dramatic change in how people #communicate globally. #Smartphones one of the boons of the 21st century have virtually eliminated the need to #communicate with words. Long sentences expressing glee, surprise, or sadness have been reduced to miniature yellow faces - also known as emojis.
#Emojis are also called #pictograms, #logograms, ideograms, or smileys.
