Emoji
Emoji is the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in Japanese electronic messages and webpages. The word literally means picture (e) letter (moji). The characters are used much like emoticons. Some emoji are very specific to Japanese culture, such as a bowing (apologizing) businessman, a typeface wearing a typeface mask, a white flower used to denote "brilliant homework" or a group of emoji representing popular foods: ramen noodles, dango, onigiri, Japanese curry, and sushi. The three main Japanese operators, NTT DoCoMo, au, and SoftBank Mobile (formerly Vodafone), have each defined their own variants of emoji. Some emoji character sets have been incorporated into Unicode, allowing them to be used outside Japan. Emoji have started appearing in Gmail (accessed via Google Labs). Several SMS applications for Android powered phones also provide plugins that allow the use of Emoji. Apple's Mac OS X operating system supports emoji as of version 10.7 Lion with the Apple Color Emoji typeface. |
