33. The Most Used Emojis in Each State(?)
We’re not sure what this map represents, but we’re pretty sure it represents which emoji is most popular in each state around the U.S. Let’s say that’s what it is because it’s pretty fun. That’s just the kind of map we needed to see today to remind us there are bigger problems outside ourselves.
It’s interesting to see there are hardly any people emojis on the list. I would’ve imagined the most popular, loved, or frequently used emojis would be people emojis or hand gestures, like the thumbs up, but that’s not the case. The turtle emoji makes quite a few appearances on the map, as well as cat emojis (no surprise there) and other, more exotic animal emojis.
