Emojis have become an integral part of everyday digital life. But where and when did the colorful symbols originate and what explains their global popularity? And do they even fulfill the old dream of a universal world language?
Media companies, NGOs and governments as well as private users and social groups are involved in their story. In the field of tension between rival interests, emojis become ideologically charged and politicized. Some people hope for a global form of communication, others fear a decline in language and civilization. With a focus on the possibilities and limitations of emojis in local and global contexts, Gala Rebane discusses their future potential as a means of communication.
