Every year, World Emoji Day is celebrated on July 17. And every year, a number of guessing games flood social media on the occasion of World Emoji Day. This unofficial holiday has been observed every year since 2014 and has been deemed a "global celebration of emojis" - the ideograms and smileys that help inject some expression into online text conversations. World Emoji Day was founded by Jeremy Burge, the creator of Emojipedia, which is an unofficial Wikipedia for emojis.
On World Emoji Day 2020, several brands have shared guessing games on social media. The rules are very simple - look at the emojis and try to guess what they represent.
