About this data

This page tracks how frequently sovereign governments adopt, revise, or abandon emoji policies on their official websites. By monitoring changes over time, it reveals shifts in how public institutions use emojis for accessibility, engagement, and digital tone-setting. The data is drawn from archived versions of government web domains, capturing policy documents and usage patterns across hundreds of jurisdictions. The findings highlight evolving norms in digital governance communication, where even small visual cues like emojis can reflect broader administrative priorities.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

No existing website, dashboard, or public dataset tracks the evolution of emoji policies (or their absence) across government websites over time. General emoji usage statistics and unrelated policy change datasets do not cover this specific niche.
