About the countdown to World Emoji Day
World Emoji Day has been celebrated since 2014, and new emoji reveals are often timed to coincide with it.
The date was picked because the widely used calendar emoji displays July 17.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next World Emoji Day falls in ISO week 28 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
Around the same time
These fall within a fortnight of World Emoji Day, which is useful if you are planning around the date rather than only checking it.
