World Emoji Day 2023 – How Will You Celebrate?
July 17th
We all use emojis in our everyday lives so why not get involved and celebrate the tenth annual Global Emoji Day.
Use #WorldEmojiDay on all socials to share how you got involved in the celebrations.
Emojis truly gained popularity when Apple added an official emoji keyboard to iOS in 2011. However, the first World Emoji Day wasn’t held till July 17th 2014. This date was chosen by the Emojipedia founder because it was already shown on the calendar emoji.
But why does the calendar emoji show this date? This is the day Apple premiered its iCal calendar application at the MacWorld conference in 2002. When Apple added the calendar emoji to the official emoji keyboard in 2012, it was decided to show the date as an Easter egg for the users.
