Originating on Japanese mobile phones in the late 1990s, emoji have become increasingly popular worldwide since their international inclusion in Apple's iPhone, which was followed by similar adoption by Android and other mobile operating systems.[ In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries named an emoji the Word of the year.
表情的使用最初起源於日本，隨著蘋果手機的廣泛使用因而開始在全世界普及。後來，安卓和其他的操作系統也引入了表情符號。2015年牛津詞典將“表情符號”列為年度熱詞。
表情符號在英語中有兩種說法 Emoji 和 Emoticon
