Are your conversations constantly filled with emojis? One billion emojis were analysed in a study done by keyboard app Swiftkey, and it gave us some interesting results about Malaysian texting habits...

SwiftKey analyzed more than one billion pieces of emoji data across a wide range of categories to learn how speakers of 16 different languages and regions use emoji. The findings in this report came from an analysis of aggregate SwiftKey Cloud data over a four month period between October 2014 and January 2015, and includes both Android and iOS devices.

Amazingly, we also topped the charts for farm animal emoji. That’s the cow, chicken, and rams. Of them all, the pig was the most often used while the ram came in a close second. What do you make of that?

We love using joke emoji like farts and poop; they ring in at nearly double the average rate. Guess which is the most popular joke emoji? Nope, it’s not the poop one, but the fart that wins. Want to know who takes themselves very seriously. The Russians.

Yes, we can. When it comes to sport-related emoji, the soccer ball is the most popular. We use it three times more than other cultures, including Latin American Spanish speakers.

While we did not come first in users of male emoji, it turns out that we are the biggest users of female emoji. More specifically, we use the “woman raising hand” emoji the most, as does the US. We really thought it'd be the woman in the red dress.
