Also in attendance: Jeremy Burge, the founder and Chief Emoji Officer of Emojipedia. 👨‍💻 Chances are if you've ever gone to the internet looking for a particular emoji, found it, then copied-and-pasted it into whatever app you're using, you did that on Emojipedia, a comprehensive site for information about the rapidly evolving -- and increasingly relevant -- world of emoji 📘

Burge joins MashTalk in a wide-ranging conversation about emoji, its growing role in our discourse, and how the Unicode Consortium 💁 -- the body that's in charge of emoji and includes Burge on its board -- decides which emoji get made and which don't. He also settles the debate: Is the plural emoji or emojis? 👀
