Check out this emoji guide for newbies – I learned a lot, too!
Emoji means picture character in Japanese, and they’re a quick way to communicate. As attention spans decrease, the popularity of emojis is on the rise!
I guess I’m in that category that has difficulty reading a situation at a glance. I have a tough time deciphering the emoji sentences below. Check them out!

I’m pretty fluent, although I don’t use many of them. I started using them back when you had to put them together using characters on your keyboard. What I don’t know it why they changed from emoticons (which I say used just a year or so ago) to emojis?

Hi Linda,
I suppose emoji are considered “easier” than emoticons, once set up. They’re created with a single key, and you can easily see what you’re getting. Tho I’ve noticed Facebook has finally added the ability to see your emoticons before posting your comment. Still, you have to remember the keys to press. Some FB ones such as Robot and Penguin can be hard for me to remember, since I use them rarely. Emoji offers many more characters that are so easily created.
Thanks for visiting!
