Today is World Emoji Day, a time set aside to recognize the contribution of all those fun little symbols we add to texts and social media posts.
World Emoji Day was created by Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge in 2014. According to organizers, the purpose of World Emoji Day is to "promote the use of emojis and spread the enjoyment that they being to all those around us."
In honor of the holiday, Apple announced it is unveiling 70 new emoji characters for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. The emoji, created based on approved characters in Unicode 11.0, will be released later this year in a free software update. They include even more hair options to better represent people with red hair, gray hair and curly hair, a new emoji for bald people, and new smiley faces, including cold face, party face, pleading face and a face with hearts.
New animals will include the kangaroo, peacock, parrot and lobster, with the addition of new food emoji for mango, lettuce, cupcake, moon cake and other popular items.
Many additional characters across sports, symbols and more, will launch later this year, including a new superhero emoji, a softball, nazar amulet and infinity symbol.

Facebook said the face with tears of joy and the smiling face with heart eyes are the most popular emoji on its platforms. Other popular choices are the heart kiss smiling face, birthday cake, blushing smiling face and a heart.
