Though they have been around since the late 1990's, emoji usage has increased sharply with the wide use of smartphones.
Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University analyzed 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to look into the differences in emoji use by location and culture. The findings indicated the French are emoji power users and included them in 19.7% of their texts. It's almost twice that of Russia, where only 10.9% of the messages contained emojis. Americans came in a close third at 9.2% and was followed by Mexico at 7.9%.
Also, though the easily wins the title as the most popular emoji, the French appear to prefer the . They are also more likely to use variations of the heart emoji.
Not surprisingly, the study found that women tend to use emojis more widely than men. However, they stick to a handful of favorites. Men, on the other hand, show better judgment and appear to go to extra length to find an emoji that matches the situation. But even so, they select from the top 119 of the 1281 emojis available.
The researchers say people living in Australia and France who believe one person's need is greater than that of a society or group, used happier emojis. Conversely, those from countries with closely-connected societies, like Colombia, prefer using sad or angry emojis.
Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more satisfied, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in tolerant cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.
