Let\u2019s go over the history of the emoji so you can appreciate its origins a little better.<\/p>\n<p>Emojis came from emoticons, which are typically attributed to Scott Fahlmnan, a computer scientist, back in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Emoticons in those days were purely keyboard symbols used to make expressions, such as these:<\/p>\n<pre>:)\r\n:-)\r\n;)\r\n:\/<\/pre>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be until the 1990s that companies throughout Europe, the United States, and Japan tried to capitalize on the emoticon.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the wingdings Microsoft font came from in 1990. Wingdings definitely included more advanced emoticons than the OGs, but left something to be desired, still.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you didn\u2019t have the wingdings font downloaded, or if you were communicating with a Mac user, then the wingdings didn\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26693 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629.png\" alt=\"Windings font\" width=\"1067\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629.png 1067w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629-1024x753.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629-768x565.png 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/855px-Wingdings.svg.png-855\u00d7629-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first phone to include emojis was the J-Phone SkyWalker DP-211SW, which had 90 emojis in all.

Here are some scenarios in which you\u2019re better off skipping the emoticons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Your_Audiences_Arent_the_Millenials\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>When Your Audiences Aren&#8217;t the Millenials<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Younger generations cannot remember a time before emojis. Those in their 30 grew up seeing the introduction and evolution of emojis in communication tech.<\/p>\n<p>For people who are older still, it&#8217;s hard to even relate to the concept. Many people who didn&#8217;t have a smartphone in their hands when they started their careers or married lives are today exposed to emoji marketing but may not take well to it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26699\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26699\" style=\"width: 761px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-by-@beat_the_meme_masters-_-Memes.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-by-@beat_the_meme_masters-_-Memes.png\" alt=\"grandma meme\" width=\"761\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-by-@beat_the_meme_masters-_-Memes.png 761w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-by-@beat_the_meme_masters-_-Memes-300x279.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-by-@beat_the_meme_masters-_-Memes-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/memes.com\/m\/LeW3G1PXWm9\"><em>Source<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you get into audience segments in their 50s and older, emojis just may not relate well.<\/p>\n<p>These people might not personally use emojis themselves, and even if they do, they may like to restrict the emojis to personal chats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_the_Meaning_Isnt_Universally_Understood\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>If the Meaning Isn\u2019t Universally Understood<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 3,600+ emojis at our disposal mean we can express ourselves in truly nuanced ways.<\/p>\n<p>Take the smiley face, for instance.

The answer should be no.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to steer clear of any emojis with negative implications.
