Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.

This is the text (if you need help).

The Internet has 250 new characters, called "emoji". They look like small pictures. The letters, numbers and symbols we see online have a special code. Internet browsers read this code. We can use the new "emoji" code and make websites that look nicer. There are new symbols like a smiling face, a thumbs up, and a dove of peace.

"Emoji" started in Japan. Young people love using them. "Emoji" in Japanese means “picture-writing character". Phone and software companies must update their fonts. Then we can use the new "emoji". A lot of the new "emoji" are for Americans and Europeans. There is a hand signal from the U.S. TV series Star Trek.

Back to the emoji lesson.
