In digital communication, emojis are becoming ubiquitous ideograms
everywhere. The widespread use of emojis and emoticons in the new millennium have
attracted the attention of a number of people round the globe with the concern for its
study of semantic and pragmatic content.The maximum use of Emojis and emoticons
in a few years have raised the question of their reliability with respect to the proto- writing system of communication. This research tends to examine the power of emojis
in becoming a standard tool for communication by replacing the alphabetic syllabary
of any language. This research focuses on the comparison of written language of
Egypt, called the hieroglyphs. During the ancient period, these hieroglyphs were the
only way to written communication. Now the question here is to look at how Emoji
and Emoticons follow the same evolution. Examining this process will help to find out
the level of conversion of Emoji icons to a standard writing system. This research
mainly focuses on the semiotics of Emoji and Emoticons, where meaning and comfort
are generated in the production of multiple connotations and denotations
simultaneously. This research is performed through a quantitative process, using the
Saussurian tradition of semiotics and semiology, and to justify the point of this
particular study on Emoji and Emoticons, "Messages, Signs and Meaning: A
Textbook in Semiotics" and The Communication of Marcel Denesi (2016) the theory
has been integrated.
