The Emoji Code is a 2017 book by linguist Vyvyan Evans, analyzing emoji as a form of digital communication in the evolution of language and writing systems.[1][2][3] The book argues that emoji constitutes missing element in digital communication, vis-a-vis face-to-face spoken communication, by providing the "new body language of the digital age".[4] As such, Evans claims that "emojis actually enhance our language [in digital communication] and our ability to wield it."[5] It was released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2017, while in the United States on August 1, 2017.
