Emoji as a Digital Language

Today's content is from Elaine's Blog: econlife. 

According to Unicode (the group that manage emoji population), the most popular emoji in late 2021 is Tears of Joy.

Below is the excerpt:

"It helped the market considerably when two scientists defined the size of a meter during the 1790s by calculating the distance from the North Pole to the Equator and dividing it by 10 million. Once they knew the size of a meter, they said the kilogram was “a cubic decimeter of rainwater at 4 degrees Celsius.” One result was a platinum kilogram cylinder. But the bigger impact was the standardization of a wide array of weights and measures.

Today in the U.S., NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is the place to go for a measurement standard. Whether you want to know the duration of a second or the length of an inch, NIST has it."

Anyone can send the proposal for emoji to the Consortium. 💪
