World Emoji Day is an annual unofficial holiday occurring on 17 July each year, intended to celebrate emoji; in the years since the earliest observance, it has become a popular date to make product or other announcements and releases relating to emoji.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Origins and celebrations

The date originally referred to the day Apple premiered its iCal calendar application in 2002. The day, July 17, was displayed on the Apple Color Emoji version of the calendar emoji as an Easter egg.[6] [7]

World Emoji Day was created on 17 July 2014 by Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia.[8] [9] [10] [11] The most recent World Emoji Day was World Emoji Day 2024, which occurred on 17 July 2024. The next World Emoji Day will be World Emoji Day 2025, scheduled to occur on 17 July 2025, while the previous World Emoji Day was World Emoji Day 2023, which occurred on 17 July 2023. Other future World Emoji Days will include World Emoji Day 2026, scheduled to occur on 17 July 2026. Other previous World Emoji Days included World Emoji Day 2022, which occurred on 17 July 2022.

The New York Times reported that Burge chose 17 July "based on the way the calendar emoji is shown on iPhones".[12] For the first World Emoji Day, Burge told The Independent "there were no formal plans put in place"[13] other than choosing the date. The Washington Post suggested in 2018 that readers use this day to "communicate with only emoji".[14]

NBC reported that the day was Twitter's top trending item on 17 July in 2015.[15]

In 2016, Google changed the appearance of Unicode character [16] to display 17 July on Android, Gmail, Hangouts, and ChromeOS products.[17] As of 2020, all major platforms except Microsoft had switched to show 17 July on this emoji, to avoid confusion on World Emoji Day.[18]

Announcements

Since 2017, Apple has used each World Emoji Day to announce upcoming expansions to the range of emojis on iOS.[19] [20] [21] [22] [23]

On World Emoji Day 2015, Pepsi launched PepsiMoji which included an emoji keyboard and custom World Emoji Day Pepsi cans and bottles.[24] These were initially released in Canada and expanded to 100 markets in 2016.[25]

In 2016, Sony Pictures Animation used World Emoji Day to announce T.J. Miller as the first cast member for The Emoji Movie,[26] Google released "a series of new emoji that are more inclusive of women from diverse backgrounds",[27] and Emojipedia launched the first World Emoji Awards.[28] Other World Emoji Day announcements in 2016 came from Disney,[29] General Electric, Twitter, and Coca-Cola.[30] [31]

London's Royal Opera House presented 20 operas and ballets in emoji form,[32] Google announced the end of its blob emoji[33] and winners of the World Emoji Awards[34] were announced[35] from the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange and broadcast on Cheddar.[36]

In 2018, Kim Kardashian released her Kimoji fragrance line on World Emoji Day,[37] [38] Apple previewed new emoji designs including redheads[39] [40] and replaced executive photos on its corporate leadership page with emojis,[41] Google announced the return of "blob emojis" in sticker form,[42] and Facebook announced that "700 million emojis are used in Facebook posts each day".[41]

On World Emoji Day 2019, the award for Most Popular New Emoji was announced[43] as the Smiling Face With Hearts[44] In 2020 the Most Popular New Emoji was announced as the White Heart[45] on Australia's The Morning Show.[46]

Microsoft used World Emoji Day in 2021 to preview[47] an overhaul to the Windows emoji set using the Fluent Design System for the first time.[48] Facebook used World Emoji Day 2021 to announce Soundmojis,[49] Google unveiled a solution for faster emoji updates on Android,[50] and Emojipedia revealed sample images for the latest emoji draft list.[51] [52]

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Andrew Rannells and Olivia Palermo attended the Pepsi World Emoji Day Red Carpet event in 2016.[53] [54] In 2017, Paula Abdul, Maya Rudolph, Liam Aiken, Jeremy Burge and Fern Mallis at the Saks Fifth Avenue red carpet on World Emoji Day.[55] [56]

Austin of The Emoji Movie and Jeremy Burge from Emojipedia.[58] A Guinness World Record was attempted in Dubai on World Emoji Day in 2017 for the "largest gathering of people dressed as emojis".[59]

Musical Emojiland premiered off-broadway in New York City at The Acorn Theatre[60] on World Emoji Day 2018[61] as part of the New York Musical Festival.[62] [63]

In 2019, the British Library hosted an event on World Emoji Day with Unicode president Mark Davis and Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge discussing the future of emoji and the National Museum of Cinema in Turin launched[64] the exhibition #FacceEmozioni 1500–2020: From Physiognomy to Emojis[65] also on July 17.[66]

On 17 July 2022, millions of people in multiple different countries across the whole world, including Japan and the United States, celebrated World Emoji Day 2022 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
