眼下,有句話正流行:「明明長了一張男神臉,偏偏活成了表情包」。
咋地,還瞧不起表情包啊?!
講真,絕大多數人活得還不如表情包精彩呢~
今天,對,就是今天,是它們的專屬節日——「世界表情日」(World Emoji Day)。
這個特殊的節日是2014年由 emoji 搜尋引擎 Emojipedia 的創始人 Jeremy Burge 提出的。為啥會選在7月17日?圖中找答案。
The first World Emoji Day took place in 2014. The date - 17 July - was chosen because it is the date which appears on the emoji for "calendar".
看到了嗎? Emoji 表情包當中的「日曆」恰好就是7月17日。
為了慶祝今年的世界表情日,這兩天,世界各地的 emoji 迷們是變著花樣在慶祝!還刷出了一個世界紀錄!
7月15日,emoji 的粉絲們在全球幾個不同的地點集會,創造了人們扮成表情符號最大規模聚會的世界紀錄。
Hundreds of men, women and children around the world dressed up as emoji characters over the weekend to set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as emoji faces in multiple locations.
倫敦皇家歌劇院表示,將通過表情符號來演繹20部人們熟知的歌劇和芭蕾舞劇。
London's Royal Opera House will present 20 well-known operas and ballets in emoji form online.

目前,加入 Unicode 的表情符號總共有2666個。
The total number of emojis currently stands at 2,666.
在過去兩年中,全世界網民在社交網站 Twitter 上使用 emoji 的數量過百億。
Emoji is the world’s fastest growing language. In the past two years, over ten billion emojis were used on Twitter.
在數千個 emoji 中,「笑cry」表情一上線就深得廣大網友喜愛。
相關調查顯示,在2016年成為全球最受歡迎的表情符號。
After analyzing millions messages from across the globe, researchers discovered that the smiling face with tears streaming from its eyes accounts for 15.4 percent of the total emoji usage.
此前,「笑cry」 還一舉摘奪了牛津詞典2015年的年度詞彙。要知道,它的競爭對手可是共享經濟(sharing economy)和英國脫歐(Brexit)!
For the first time ever, Oxford Dictionaries have chosen a "pictograph" as its word of the year. They said the "face with tears of joy emoji" best represents "the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015".
Emoji 作為網紅經濟的一部分,自然不會被商家輕易放過。所以,我們經常會看到這樣的廣告:
利用 emoji 做營銷又何止百事可樂一家?
不過小編個人覺得最有創意、最直觀的 emoji 策劃案就要數倫敦這家餐館了。
A restaurant 「Little Yellow Door」 in London city has written its menu in emoji language.
Guests at the restaurant then order dishes and cocktails from the seasonal selection via WhatsApp, using the emojis to represent dishes.
這份菜單你看懂了嗎?
Emoji 到底有多魔性?就連剛剛奪得溫網冠軍的羅傑•費德勒,也對 emoji 著了魔。
據說這位「emoji成癮」的重度患者,已經熟練到可以只用 emoji 對話的程度。

話說這一串又是啥意思,
小夥伴們誰給破譯一下?
看看費天王自己是怎麼解釋的:
「So, I woke up here in Britain, you know, had my phone charged overnight. I woke up; I had the alarm wake me up. I was like, 『Oh, here we go!』 I got showered, got dressed, had breakfast, had a stretch, then I messed up the time. Rather than saying, 11:30 (a.m.), I said six.
「I drove over to Aorangi (practice courts)… Practiced at 12 (p.m.). It was beautiful weather. I fist-bumped with my partner Sergiy Stakhovsky who I practiced with yesterday. Then had some strawberries after the shower in the locker room. Drove back, had lunch. Had some coffee. Chocolate, of course, you know, sweet treat. And then more coffee — yeah, gotta get fired up here. And then had a massage and watched Heather Watson against Serena actually. And then I was like 『Ahh, you know what? We can play darts tonight.』 And I actually ended up never playing it because we have a dartboard at the house but I never ended up doing it and that was my day off.」
170多字的內容,48個 emoji 就搞定了,是不是超 cool?
更酷的是,今年6月又推出了近70個新表情符號。其中包括獨具中國特色的餃子、筷子,還有中餐外賣盒和幸運餅乾。
In 2017, the Unicode Consortium finalised 69 new ones. Some of the new emojis include dumpling, fortune cookie as well as a take-out box and chopsticks.
