On 17 July, we are celebrating World Emoji Day, and what better way to spend the day than with entertainment that evokes some of the emotions associated with our favourite emojis? World Emoji Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on 17 July.

 

The day is deemed a "global celebration of emoji" and has been celebrated annually since 2014.

 

The first ever emoji was created by Shigetaka Kurita in 1999 as part of a team working on a mobile internet platform in Japan where he distributed the first 175 pixel emoji's.

 

Following the release of Apple's iOS6 the emoji keyboard has revolutionalised texting.

 

Whether you’re feeling the love and seeing hearts or having a thumbs down kind of day, we have a show to suit any mood. Take a look at the shows below and let emotion take over.
