Fun fact about World Emoji Day! July 17th is celebrated as World Emoji Day because on July 17, 2002 iCal for Mac was first announced! While that’s a peculiar sort of reason, it certainly is memorable! Mac has nothing to do with World Emoji Day, nor do calendars have much of anything to do with emoji’s… BUT Mac’s calendar release has been commemorated by the celebration of World Emoji Day, and we’re all thankful for both iCal and emoji’s!
How to celebrate World Emoji Day:
- Celebrate World Emoji Day by getting together with friends for a painting and/or drawing party where you create your own emoji or replicate your favorite(s). Then spend time hanging out and guessing the emotion or depiction of each person’s emoji!
- If you’re unable to create emoji’s with some friends, get online at any number of sites to create your own emoji!
- Companies often use today to launch their new emoji related products or promotions. Be on the lookout and snag some sweet deals!
