Values between 0.7 and 1.0 (-0.7 and -1.0) indicate a strong positive (negative) linear relationship via a firm linear rule.

Shigetaka Kurita is the designer of the first emojis for cellphones.Kurita first created emoji while he was a member of a team that, at the time, was preparing for the debut of NTT Docomoâs i-mode, the worldâs first mobile Internet system. The debut was set for February 1999.
The process for bringing a new emoji to life involves thousand-word proposals, multiple rounds of committee votes and rare collaboration between Silicon Valleyâs most powerful companies. Steering the process is Mark Davis, the co-founder and president of Unicode Consortium. The group, made up mostly of volunteers from tech firms (Davis, 63, works at Google), votes on which new emoji to add to the roster of available symbols each year. While emoji have brought the Consortium into the spotlight, the non-profitâs mandate extends to standardizing digital text exchanges across different computer software in hundreds of different languages.
