It's been a big week for emoji

After Monday kicked things off with the fourth annual World Emoji Day Apple announced a new set of emojis coming to the iPhone later this year, including Woman With Headscarf and Zombie. Also, Google announced its traditional "blob" emoji, which are getting overhauled later this year, will still be available to Allo users as a sticker pack

Later this month will see the debut of the Emoji Movie. It hits theaters on July 28, and Sony Pictures hosted a ceremony at the Empire State Building to both promote the movie and commemorate World Emoji Day, with the movie's cast including Patrick Stewart and Maya Rudolph hosting an event where the iconic skyscraper was lit up in "emoji yellow"

Also in attendance: Jeremy Burge, the founder and Chief Emoji Officer of Emojipedia. Chances are if you've ever gone to the internet looking for a particular emoji, found it, then copied-and-pasted it into whatever app you're using, you did that on Emojipedia, a comprehensive site for information about the rapidly evolving and increasingly relevant world of emoji

Burge joins MashTalk in a wide-ranging conversation about emoji, its growing role in our discourse, and how the Unicode Consortium the body that's in charge of emoji and includes Burge on its board decides which emoji get made and which don't. He also settles the debate: Is the plural emoji or emojis?
