The new generation is addicted to social media, and this is becoming more prominent. There
are numerous emojis and stickers available on social media that can be used to mimic how
one is feeling when messaging. Accordingly, the study's goal is to gain a deeper
understanding of generation z participants' messaging attitudes and behaviors while using
emojis as emotional responses in mobile communicative interaction. Therefore, we
hypothesized that Emojis act as emotional displays in representing and understanding
meaning behind text messages. We used a quantitative method in this study by distributing a
questionnaire to 40 freshmen English students (5 males and 35 females) at Djilali Bounaama
University in Khemis Miliana. Therefore, the study findings confirmed the research
hypothesis's validity.
