Today's the day.
Go crazy, friends: it's World Emoji Day.
It's a young day: created in 2014 by Jeremy Burge, it celebrates the little symbols used on social media and cell phones. Emojis were originally used on mobile phones in Japan in the late 1990's.
The Texans got their own emoji on Twitter last year before Week 1, and it only appeared if you typed #WeAreTexans. No word yet on when that returns to Twitter, but you can probably bank on it being back in time for the 2017 season.
Other than that emoji, what's your favorite?
