BBM users love their emoji. We use millions of them in chats every day. The chart below shows the most popular among BlackBerry OS/BBM users from a week in September.
A note of clarification: I’m using the terms “emoticons” to refer to the text-based character combinations meant to be read sideways — e.g., 
smiling, and “emoji” to refer to the related-but-different tiny graphics – e.g. 
smiling. (And don’t forget the 
hot dog.)
