(FOX 11) We use emojis every day, so why not celebrate them?
July 17 is apparently World Emoji Day, a day chosen by aficionados because its the date shown on the iOS calendar emoji.
What if you don't have an iPhone? The World Emoji Day website states: "Even if you are using a system with a different calendar emoji, that shouldn't stop you joining in the global celebration of emoji."
The world is encouraged to partake by using the #WorldEmojiDay hashtag to tweet their "favorite 50 emojis" in order to make the most of this day, which only comes once a year.
