It is no doubt that we use Emoji every single day, be it on WhatsApp, Facebook or Telegram.
Do you know that World Emoji Day falls on July 17 every year? Another fun fact that you should know is that emoji is a Japanese word that means picture word. When people can't express what they want to convey in words, they will often replace the texts with emojis.
We send text messages every day and it has become a part of our everyday life. Texts without emojis can sometimes sound solemn or boring. So many of us tend to end a sentence with emoji 😂.
As part of World Emoji Day, Weekender will be sharing some fun facts on how emojis are commonly used in Singapore:

Do you remember how crazy the bubble tea craze was during Covid-19’s lockdown last year?! In Singapore, Bubble tea is more than just a drink and this is why the bubble tea business is always blooming. You can find more brands entering Singapore in recent years and they are constantly expanding their outlets. Bubble tea, in fact, is a lifestyle. It’s so popular that even outside of physical spaces and food delivery apps, bubble tea (13.0 version release) is topping the list as the most popular new food & beverage emoji in Singapore!
