As part of a school assignment designer Allwin Williams creates the project “Sentiment of Emojis“, which visualises the real-time emoji sentiment of Twitter using data from Matthew Rothenberg’s Emoji Tracker.

A lot of sentiments are expressed through emojis and they are easier to decode, for humans as well as computers.

This is an exploration on filtering out only emojis with sentiments and labelling them as positive and negative. This shows the data from the time you open the page as well as from a few years back. The goal is to try to visualise sentiments from emojis from around the world in real-time.
