This study delves into the selection and functionality of emojis in the context of emoji-text scenarios, with a focus on gender differences. In today’s era, emojis are increasingly being utilized on online platforms to fulfill people’s daily expressive needs. The article employs a survey method, using random sampling to gather responses from 30 participants (15 males and 15 females) on this topic. The survey categorizes emojis into seven types for discussion. The results indicate that gender influences the choice of emoji-text and suggest that there may be certain intersections in the interpretation of emojis across genders. This research sheds light on how the use of emojis is not only a reflection of individual expression but also a nuanced aspect of communication that is influenced by one’s gender, highlighting the complexity of digital communication and the role of emojis in conveying meaning.References
