You are what you tweet: The U.S. is tired, Italy’s in love and Australia is all good

Sunday was World Emoji Day (you knew that, right?), which is why Twitter decided to take a look at which emojis are most popular in which countries.

Turns out America is tired. Or whiny. Or exasperated. Whatever emotion you associate with this sad-looking yellow sphere:

(Technically, it's called "tired face," but it really looks more whiny to me.)

That should surprise pretty much no one. The best part: The U.K. and Canada were in the same boat. Go figure.

Other countries like Italy and France and Japan were all about love. South America was rocking out to some good music. And Turkey, just a few days removed from an unsuccessful military coup that rocked the country and news cycles, had a smiley face emoji atop its list.

Twitter is into emojis and stickers right now. The company just added the ability to put stickers on pictures and also lets advertisers target you based on the emojis you send.

A note for those who like to read the fine print: These may not technically be the top emoji for each country. Twitter picked the top-ranked emoji that was outside the worldwide top 10 most used. This made the list much more diverse.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
