INTRODUCTION

With technological advancements, we are using so many applications to communicate with a person or within a group.

As the work efficiency is increasing, verbal communication is also decreasing with the availability of simple and fast messaging applications say WhatsApp or telegram, etc.

But, we all know that it is very hard to show emotions in text. Although many short forms like lol, rofl, etc. have emerged, still it doesn’t provide an easy explanation of your emotional state.

This was the reason why EMOJIs were developed.

As per Merriam-websters.com

An EMOJI is any of various small images, symbols, or icons used in text fields in electronic communication (as in text messages, email, and social media) to express the emotional attitude of the writer, convey information succinctly, communicate a message playfully without using words, etc.

Simply speaking, these are the small pictures that are used to show the emotions of the writer.

We can also make the use of emojis or emoticons in the GOOGLE DOCS also, of course as per requirement only.
