Wikipedia describes emoji’s as ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and Web pages. The characters, which are used much like emoticons or kaomojis, exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals. Emojis have become increasingly popular since their international inclusion is almost all phone operating systems. Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, "picture") + moji (文字, "character").
Fans can guarantee tickets to this night and the team’s top weekend dates of the season by locking in the Growlers new 5-game packs. 5-game packs include the best seats at the team’s five (5) best games with all-you-can-eat food and beverages with guaranteed giveaways.
