Interesting Fact - Language

There is a language taking over the world, and it isn't English; it's Emoji.

(In a survey conducted by TalkTalk Mobile, 8 in 10 people use emoji symbols in emails and text messages, and 72% of British 18 to 25-year-olds said they found it easier to put their feelings across in emoji icons than in text.

The 10 most popular emojis are as follows:-

1- Smiley Face

2- Crying with laughter

3- Love heart

4- Blushing

5- Thumbs up

6- Cheeky face

7- Blowing a kiss

8- Winking face

9- Confused

10- See no evil monkey

However, different language speakers have their own preferences:-

Flower and plant emojis, particularly the rose, are used at more than 4 times the average rate by Arabic speakers.
