World Emoji Day: These are the most-used emoji around the world
An emoji speaks more than a thousand words. It speaks things that can’t be written in text. It speaks your soul.

And so the emoji you use most frequently says a lot about who you are. Always sending the heart-eyes emoji? You’re probably a little obsessive and filled with love. Big fan of the poop? You, uh, love poop.

Japan, South Korea, Italy, and France are more loved up, with variations on hearts their top emoji, while India, Mexico, and South Africa all seem very positive and grateful, judging from their use of prayer hands.

Also, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina look like they’re having a great music-filled time.

Twitter also found out that people tweet more beer emoji than coffee emoji, which says a lot, and that there are more full heart emoji used than broken heart emoji. Aww.

The most tweeted faced emoji are the grining face, the hearts-for-eyes, and the crying face.
