What does “emoji” actually mean? #shorts

I knew it was Japanese but i thought it was different:
E as in electronic (like in email)
Moji for character
So electronic character

Overall, I'll take Bento. Thanks.

No it’s not emoji is short for emoticon

When I originally saw the word I recognised it must be Japanese but I thought it must be "emo-tion" + ji - so a sign showing emotion - since it was originally used for smilieys showing emotions. I was surprised once I learnt that it was actually picture-moji.

I guess kids nowadays don't even know this universal fact about emoji. It was pretty common info back in the day.

📺🧸💬 ... Emoji in Japanese...
🥺💬 I wish to have a riceball for a Bento later.

Not obvious ones are 🙆‍♂️ as correct⭕️まる, opposite of 🙅‍♂️=❌️(罰点-ばつ), and the most surprising one for me is newbie 🔰(初心者 -しょしんしゃ）

And this 💒🏩 lovuu hotelluuu

(●^o^●)

I thought it was write in katakana

I assumed emo was like a shortened loan word related to emotion somehow, with ji as character, as it is in kanji, romaji, etc. Like “emotion character”
But in retrospect, picture character makes way more sense considering they do not all express emotion.

I love your teachings!

Can someone explain to me what this emoji means? 🔰

this also means emoji is etymologically unrelated to emoticon :)

a certain samurai taught me this😂

Everytime I hear dango I remember that song 😢

❤

When I hear せんべい, I have to think of Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan because of Noko saying 鹿せんべい in the opening and it getting repeated in the whole anime!

Arigato 🎉

Did you know that the yubinkyoku symbol comes from the kanji = 手 ?

Weird. Generally your English speaking is spotless. But in this video you sound very Japanese (which makes sense of course). Interesting.

Yes Japan is very popular among silly kids who use these stupid pictures. So while Japan gave us silly pictures, other nations gave us numerals, algebra and even the Latin letters you use in chemistry in Japan.

絵文字は日本です I’m js thinking

in Hungary, we pronounce all words of Japanese origin correctly, here it is natural.

So emoji = pictogram. Thanks! :)

Type sake🍶 and you'll get this emoji(sake- Japanese alcohol)

Just a question; why is ramen written in Katakana but the other food names are written in Hiragana? Is there a sort of background to it?
