It's world emoji day! ...GG!
As one might guess, the idea of expressing emotion with internet communication
started in the US; by 1980, people were using punctuation marks.
The first emoji bank of symbols was actually the work of a Japanese
telephone company (2000) and contains symbols that are not related to emotion: it
is vocabulary for mobile communication. Interestingly, research shows negative
emoticons are rarely used (although I suspect negative abbreviations surely are).
