๐Ÿ™‹ Why July 17?

July 17 is famously displayed on the ๐Ÿ“… Calendar Emoji, which is why we chose it as the date for World Emoji Day.

๐Ÿ’ก The calendar emoji date is the reason this July 17 was chosen, but the day is much bigger than just one emoji. World Emoji Day is a celebration of all emojis.
