The use of emojis has become increasingly popular, with over 3,000 universal emojis available, but its meaning can vary depending on the context and platform. The word "emoji" translates to "picture character" in Japanese and was first introduced by NTT DoCoMo in 1999 as a way for users to break up with each other or communicate with customers. Emoji keyboards are built into modern operating systems, allowing users to add emojis to any document where text is allowed. Zapier, a remote team, uses emojis extensively in their communication, including custom emoji created by employees, and also employs them to convey meaning and get work done, such as using reactions to express agreement or kudos. However, the use of emojis can be misinterpreted, and its tone and context should be considered when using it in written language.
