At a time when inperson conversations are harder to come by, many people are choosing to express their thoughts about the pandemic with emojis.But perhaps no emoji has come to embody the hopes and fears of this unthinkable moment as much as the folded hands emoji.
The folded hands emoji has popped up in more tweets than ever before to help express our feelings about seemingly every aspect of a health crisis that can sometimes defy words.It's used to give thanks to frontline workers, send prayers to loved ones and express gratitude for finding toilet paper on supermarket shelves.
The emoji, sometimes called prayer hands, was used 25% more often in April than in August, the last time that particular character was analyzed by Emojipedia, which tracks trends and frequency of emoji use on Twitter.That spike made it the eighth most popular emoji for the month-and cemented its position as a visual emblem for how we feel during the pandemic.
As coronavirus cases ticked up and lockdowns spread around the world, the way we communicate evolved quickly.Watercooler conversations were replaced by Slack chats.Happy hours and birthday parties now unfold on Zoom.Phone calls made a comeback.And people are increasingly relying on emoji to express their thoughts and gestures to an audience they can no longer see in person.
Nearly one in five tweets now include an emoji, up from about one in six tweets during the same time last year, according to Emojipedia.Icons such as the face with a medical mask, the microbe and a bar of soap have also spiked in messages specifically associated with the coronavirus.
Yet, some things haven't changed.Emojipedia found the most popular emoji remains the tears of joy face, which was named as word of the year in 2015 by the Oxford Dictionary.
Angela Guzman, one of the early emoji designers for iOS, said the best approach to emoji design is to create visual symbols with versatility to evolve with people and the times they live in.“A word that we used five years ago may mean something else today-the same is true of emojis,” said Guzman.“For this reason, when designing an emoji, current trends can play a role in its creation.But it's important not to add too many embellishments that will not last with the test of time.”

A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood during my spring break and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business.Its old brick exterior hadn't changed, but inside it was like a different world.In one area, a book reading was being delivered.Nearby, customers were poring over shelves selling stationery, posters and other bestsellerthemed gifts.[7]The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen, where customers' comments on the month's bestseller were being displayed.[8]Clearly, the Rainbow Bookstore was in good, creative hands.

新的篇章
听说经营了50年的彩虹书店要停业的那天,我的心都要碎了。这家书店是这片社区鼎鼎大名、永远不变的一家店,谁都可以来这里逛逛,因为热爱书籍而互相认识。
我匆匆赶到书店,看到那些书已经装箱了。我和老店主凯西聊了很久。他深深地叹了口气,告诉我经营独立书店越来越难。大多数年轻人更喜欢用平板电脑读电子书。越来越多的顾客被连锁店和网店折扣吸引。我想要说些同情的话,却发现自己不得不承认彩虹书店的确开不下去了。
童年的回忆清晰地浮现在我的脑海里,好像那些事就发生在昨天。我们这群孩子放学后经常去书店。我们会看看新书,或者只是与老凯西聊几句。他对店里每本书都了如指掌,总能从落了灰的架子上挑一本最好的书给我们。我们会坐在店里陈旧而舒适的家具上,读上好几个钟头的书。凯西鼓励我们把对书的想法和评论分享出来,写在书店一角的大板子上。
我离开书店的时候,外面已又冷又黑。我转身向凯西挥手告别,但他和书店都已经消失在浓雾中。这让我意识到,书店和老凯西给社区带来的一切都将很快消失殆尽。
几个月后,我在春假期间回到了社区,却惊奇地发现彩虹书店仍然伫立在那里,并且还在营业。它外面的旧砖瓦丝毫未变,但里面却像一个不同的世界。店里开辟了一片阅读区。在阅读区附近,顾客们在货架前仔细地挑选着文具、海报和其他畅销主题的礼品。之前书店角落里的大板子换成了一个大屏幕,顾客对本月畅销书的评论展现在上面。显然,彩虹书店经营有方,富有创意。
我听说是社区决定发起团结协作拯救彩虹书店的活动。这次活动由珍妮弗·奥克利领导,她是一位售货员,从小在社区长大,现在已经从凯西手中接手了书店。
在珍妮弗的领导下,这家书店变成了社区文学爱好者聚会的地方。书店里有咖啡馆,出售有机食品;现在还在这里举行更多的社区活动,比如读书会、诗歌朗诵会甚至是爵士音乐会和电影之夜。在这里,人们可以聚在一起分享体验,这种体验是无法从网上下载到的。
我凑到凯西旁边,他正看着大屏幕上不断出现的读者评论。“嗯,正如你所看到的,集体的智慧和创意把我这个简陋的书店带进了21世纪!我很高兴,我想让书店奉献给社区的一切都还在。”
