15、i”一词源于日语,字面意思是“图画文字”。表情符号是表示想法、情绪或感受的小图标。它们可分为不同类别,比如面部表情和人物、动植物、食品饮料等。1999年,表情符号首次在日本推出,当时只有176个简单的图案。现在我们能使用3,000多个表情符号来拓宽我们的交流渠道。由于表情符号的风靡,牛津词典2015年的年度词汇是,这是图画文字首次替代了传统意义上的单词。在当今世界,表情符号越来越受欢迎。表情符号似乎比书面语言更具明显优势。人们喜欢它们,因为它们增添了语言的情感含义,使用方便快捷。事实上,这就像我们说话时用的手势一样。当在信息或帖子中加一个微笑表情或悲伤表情时,你的读者在读你写的内容时就能“看到
