But among the multitude of emojis available, which are the world's most widely used?

The Emojipedia website has unveiled the top 10 most-used icons worldwide on Twitter. The ranking was established after analyzing over 99 million tweets between January 1 and March 16, 2023. And according to the platform's statistics, it's the face with tears of joy emoji 😂 that takes the top spot this year. It takes the lead once again after battling the loudly crying face emoji 😭 for the number one spot.

To mark the 10th anniversary of World Emoji Day, the site also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to the rolling on the floor laughing emoji 🤣 for being the most popular new emoji added in the last 10 years, as well as for being the world's #2 emoji in 2023.

According to Emojipedia data, 2023 marks a record year for emoji use worldwide on Twitter, with 26.71% of tweets containing at least one emoji.

The top 10 most-used emojis in 2023 so far, according to Emojipedia, are as follows: 

1. 😂 : face with tears of joy

For the second consecutive year, the melting face emoji has been named as the "most 2023" emoji.
