| contents | With the prevalence of instant messaging and social media platforms, emojis have become important artifacts for expressing emotions and feelings in our daily lives. We ask how HCI researchers have examined the role and evolution of emojis in sharing emotions over the past 10 years. We conducted a systematic literature review of papers addressing emojis employed for emotion communication between users. After screening more than 1,000 articles, we identified 42 articles of studies analyzing ways and systems that enable users to share emotions with emojis. Two main themes described how these papers have (1) improved how users select the right emoji from an increasing emoji lexicon, and (2) employed emojis in new ways and digital materials to enhance communication. We also discovered an increasingly broad scope of functionality across appearance, medium, and affordance. We discuss and offer insights into potential opportunities and challenges emojis will bring for HCI research. |
