【題目】

People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world? If there is, the answer might be EMOJIS(表情符號(hào)).

Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across. A group called the Unicode Consortium works on choosing emojis. It has added new emojis every year since 2014. They show what people think about and like.

Emojis can be used to represent(代表) different groups of people. In 2015, emoji faces with different skin tones(膚色) were added. In 2016, different jobs were added , such as doctor, police officer and painter. This year, emojis of disabled people were added including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.

But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to(指的是) pop culture and new cultural trends(潮流).

New emojis in 2019 also include several animals, such as sloths(樹懶) and flamingos(火烈鳥). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular because of the 2016 film Zootopia(《瘋狂動(dòng)物城》). Many fashion designers(設(shè)計(jì)師) have included flamingos in their designs in recent years.
