What does EMOJI mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A small digital image or icon used in electronic messages to express an idea, emotion or reaction.
An emoji stands in for words or feelings that would otherwise take a full sentence to explain, such as a laughing face for amusement or a thumbs-up for approval. The pictures are built into phone keyboards and messaging apps, so people can drop one straight into a text or chat. Because a single emoji can carry tone that plain words often miss, they have become part of everyday informal writing.
