The red heart is the number one emoji across all countries, followed by the checkmark, fire, sparkles, loudly crying face, and skull.

Emojipedia's Emojitracker tool shows the most popular 1,000 emoji globally and across select countries like the United States, UK, India, Brazil, Philippines, France, Germany, Australia, and Japan.

The tool used to aggregate data from Twitter, but it now tracks the emoji that are copied from Emojipedia and the GetEmoji websites in real time.

Earlier today, Apple announced the launch of a new Emoji-themed game that's available to Apple News+ subscribers, plus the Unicode Consortium confirmed the new Unicode 17 emoji that will come to iOS 26 in the future.

With ‌iOS 26‌, Apple will introduce a new emoji-inspired Genmoji feature that will let users combine two or more emoji characters together to generate a new image that can be used in Messages conversations.

half the population in my country use iMessage and I think I have seen one Genmoji.
yeah, I'm very unlikely to use it. I use the basics that were around from the beginning and that's about it. I have about eight or so in my 'recently used' list that I keep going back to. Odd they actually have a day to celebrate these. Never saw a world punctuation day where we celebrate !!!!!! and maybe a few ,,,,,
