स्टिकर

मैसेजिंग ऐप में उपयोग की जाने वाली बड़ी, अधिक विस्तृत डिजिटल छवियां, अक्सर एनिमेटेड, जो मानक इमोजी के पूरक हैं लेकिन उनसे अलग हैं।

Stickers are a step beyond emoji — they're larger, more detailed, and often animated. While emoji are Unicode characters rendered by fonts, stickers are images distributed through messaging platforms.

Stickers originated in Asian messaging apps (LINE in 2011, KakaoTalk, WeChat) and became a major revenue source through sticker packs. Western platforms like iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram later adopted sticker features.

Unlike emoji, stickers are platform-specific and not standardized. You can't send a LINE sticker in WhatsApp. Google's Emoji Kitchen blurs this boundary by generating stickers from emoji combinations.
