Emoji Sentiment

The emotional tone or meaning associated with emoji usage, studied through sentiment analysis of how people use emoji in communication.

Emoji sentiment refers to the emotional associations people have with specific emoji. Research has shown that the same emoji can carry different sentiment depending on context, culture, and platform rendering.

The Unicode Emoji Sentiment Ranking (based on Twitter data) classifies emoji as positive, negative, or neutral. For example, 😂 and ❤️ are strongly positive, while 😭 is used both negatively and positively (tears of joy/sadness).

Sentiment analysis of emoji is important for social media monitoring, brand analysis, and understanding digital communication patterns.
