Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion. ● Reaching Global Markets A series of "funny" emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn't kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, "They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly." A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, "I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn't agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely." ● Addition to Domestic Social Media Compared with Japanese impressions of the "funny" emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use emoji to tease one another on social media. One commonly seen online comment is, "We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool." Regarded as the most popular emoji, the "funny" emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the "funny" emoji is the updated version of its original one; "funny" has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺). ● In Everyday Use Abroad It's not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage.

As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people's daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way.
