Starchild: Malaysian children share about their favourite emojis


Lim Jo Ern, 7

Many of us love using emojis whenever we send messages to our friends. Emojis are fun and they can help us express how we feel – happy, sad, angry, disgusted, ill or confused, for example. There are also emojis depicting food, objects and popular landmarks.

Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created the first emoji in 1999 for mobile phones and pagers. According to brandwatch.com, some of the most popular emojis include the emoji with rolling eyes, smiling face with heart eyes and face with tears of joy.
