Since their adoption in the early 2000s, emojis have become popular ways of expressing feelings and attitudes in a way that is easy to understand for readers of any language. According to recent studies, more than 36% of millennials say that emojis help them express their feelings better than standard languages – and with the total number of internet users expected to rise to more than 4 billion by 2021, emojis could potentially help anyone communicate with more than half of the world’s population.
The goal of the Emojigraphy project is to teach modern internet users the basics of using Emojis as a universal language. A form of visual communication which is based on universally understandable symbols such as the smiley face, Emojigraphy is easy to learn by anyone, regardless of their native language.
The Emojigraphy books are designed as basic, easy-to-understand explanations of Emoji grammar, thus offering users an accessible way of forming full sentences using emojis.
The resulting text is image-based, making it easy to process and read in any existing language. According to the official website of the project, its uses extend beyond everyday communication to medical therapy for stroke patients, and as a learning tool for early childhood education.
The Emojigraphy book is currently available both in print and as a Kindle e-book.
A spokesperson for Emojigraphy said: “With a humble beginning, we began to think of how we could communicate more consistently using emojis. It needed something—a system to arrange these emojis in a proper pattern. Once we were able to describe the grammar, we knew we would make it, then Emojigraphy was born.”
