Tears of Joy Emoji is Word of the Year
表情符號“哭笑”成年度熱詞
Oxford Dictionaries has announced that the Word of the Year for 2015 is an emoji rather than a word. The Tears of Joy emoji was the most frequently used emoji this year in the US and the UK according to mobile technology statistics. Oxford Dictionaries says that this emoji was chosen because it best represents people's moods and preoccupations of 2015. While critics say that the Word of the Year should actually be a word, Oxford defended its choice saying that people are communicating in new ways due to mobile devices and social media.
