The Most Frequent Emoji

Emoji Frequency ImageHow does the Unicode Consortium choose which new
emoji to add? One important factor is data about how frequently the
current emoji are used. Patterns of usage help to inform decisions about
future emoji. The Consortium has been working to assemble this
information and make it available to the public.

And the two most frequently used emoji in the world are...
😂 and ❤️
The new Unicode Emoji Frequency
<https://home.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-frequency> page shows a list of
the Unicode v12.0 emoji ranked in order of how frequently they are used.

“The forecasted frequency of use is a key factor in determining whether
to encode new emoji, and for that it is important to know the frequency
of use of existing emoji,” said Mark Davis, President of the Unicode
Consortium. “Understanding how frequently emoji are used helps
prioritize which categories to focus on and which emoji to add to the
Standard.”
