I wonder if my dad is partially responsible for the moai popularity. It's genuinely the only emoji he uses in some kind of dadaist statement

🗿 surprises me. I’d love to hear more about that. And I’d always heard some flags were the least popular.

What do you mean, 🤾 is not used all the time?

The slam dunk emoji is a great reaction emoji, but either I'm the only one to use it that way, or you are missing many great data from Slack, Element, WhatsApp etc, whose reactions don't appear in GBoard's data. :D

My dad has adopted 🥦. I will have to pick something from the dust pile for me!

This article is brilliant! Loved it! I'll read again because I got thinking: is internet becoming this sad angry place? And does that make ourselves angrier and more sad in real lives?

Does Zipf's Law also appear to apply to this data on emoji usage?

Jennifer Daniel's avatar

Yes, absolutely. 10 emoji driving 36% of global volume with a 55% near-zero long tail is basically Zipf’s Law, emoji sized.

With Pokopia coming out recently, I wonder if 🪸 will go up if this list comes out again next year! IYKYK Which also makes me wonder if there’s one emoji that represents “IYKYK” the way 🖖🏾 (LLAP) exists.
