"Sometimes characterized as "contemporary hieroglyphs" or an "iconic graphic language," emoji originated in Japan in the late 1990s."

"Shigetaka Kurita invented Emoji in 1998 while working for DoCoMo, a large Japanese mobile communication company. He wanted to create a way for users to send pictures back and forth without using much data."
