organization that looks after code behind the Internet has included additional 250 characters in its most recent update. All of characters we see in our Internet browsers, whether they be letters, numbers or symbols, all have special code so browser knows what to show online. The system is called Unicode and makes sure that whatever browser or world language, the characters look as they should. The new "emoji" include many characters used on smart phones in SMS and text messages. People who make websites and Internet users can now make their pages look nicer with symbols that include smiling face, spider, thumbs up, dove of peace, and many more.
