Emojovation: Crafting Inclusive Emojis & Interactive Tools

Abstract

This thesis explores the concept of missing emojis and symbols in digital communication, uncovering their significance in the realms of culture, representation and self-expression. It thoroughly explores the history, evolution and timeline of emojis, revealing their transformative journey to become pivotal in societal discourse. While emojis are crucial in current communication, the absence of specific symbols leaves expressive gaps. The research aims to pinpoint and analyze these missing emojis, taking into account cultural, technological and societal factors. By assessing their impact on digital communication, the study illustrates the changing essence of visual language in the digital era and proposes strategies to fill the void left by these absences.
