Emoji Day

The ubiquitous pictograms known as emojis, embedded in electronic messaging of all kinds to give emotional cues to otherwise dispassionate text, are celebrated annually on July 17. The date was selected by Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge, commemorating the date that iCal for Mac was first announced at MacWorld Expo in 2002.
