The most popular Emoji artist in the U.S. Fred Benenson, when he was 27, was able to raise over $3,750 on WellFund to find funding for his translation of Moby Dick into Emojis — titled “Emoji Dick“, of course. He hired some people through a website and translated all the 200.000 words in Moby Dick into pictures. In March 2013, the Library Congress accepted it as the first ever Emoji book and added it into the collection. After that, some other companies have been founded or benefited from these character pictures since emojis have become a sensation.

In the past, the carnival procession was held in the streets of Rio, where beautifully clothed people threw streamers and confetti and danced for four days.
