The Internet is up in arms, and its all over an emoji.

If you don't know, emojis are popular little images that computer or smartphone users can insert into their text messages. Emojis can be used to display emotions, actions, or just silly fun. But what makes emojis so widely accessible and popular is that users can clearly tell what each emoji is. A smiling face shows you're happy. A crying face shows you're upset. Pretty simple stuff.
