About World Emoji Day

World Emoji Day is celebrated on 17 July each year, honouring the tiny digital icons that have transformed the way we communicate online. The date was chosen because 17 July is the date displayed on the 📅 Calendar emoji on Apple devices, and the day has grown into a global celebration of emoji culture since its founding in 2014.

The 😀 Grinning face is the classic emoji that started it all, representing the simple joy of digital expression. 😊 Smiling face with smiling eyes captures the warmth and friendliness that emojis bring to everyday messages, while ❤️ Red heart — consistently the most-used emoji worldwide — represents the love we share through our screens.

World Emoji Day is celebrated by tech companies, brands, and individuals sharing their favourite emojis and the stories behind them. 🎉 Party popper marks the celebratory spirit of the day, 👍 Thumbs up represents the universal gesture of approval, and 😂 Face with tears of joy — one of the most popular emojis ever — reminds us how emojis have become an essential part of modern communication.
