Emojipedia is an emoji reference website[2] created by Jeremy Burge in 2013.[3] Rising to prominence with the release of Unicode 7 emoji characters in 2014, The Register reported the "online encyclopedia of emojis has been chucked offline after vast numbers of people visited the site"[4] in relation to the downtime experienced by the site at the time.

The Emojipedia website documents changes[5] to emoji symbols and their meanings[6] in the Unicode Standard. The website receives over 140 million pageviews per year[7] and has been called "the world’s number one resource on emoji".[8]

World Emoji Day is a social media campaign created by Emojipedia,[9] which is held on July 17 each year.[10]
