Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to clarify the emoji (pictogram) attitude of Turkish university students. E moji, which comes from the combination of e, meaning japanese picture, and moji words, which means letter; is defined as a visual symbol used in expressing feelings or some concepts in written messages. Emoji was originally designed by Shigetaka Kurita, who worked in a mobile phone company in Japan in 1998,as 176 pieces. In 2010, after Apple began supporting emoji on iPhone devices, it gained global popularity.While the use of emoji in written messages is widespread, we understand that the study done in our country is very limited.In this limited number of studies, It is emphasized that especially young generation has a positive attitude towards emoji. In this study, emoji attitude of Turkish university students was examined by considering the gender factor. Using participants from the Namik Kemal University,60 males and 60 females were asked about personal emoji releation and emoji benefit perception. As a method of analysis, averages of male and female students for each question were calculated separately and t test was applied. As a result of the survey, it was detirmined that the usage frequency of emoji is medium-level and favorable. Also, It is observed that ,there is a strong perception that the use of emoji is beneficial in expressing feelings and makes messages fun. In addition, it was seen that females appreciate the benefits of using emoji more than males. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk üniversite öğrencilerin emoji (pictogram) algısını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Japonca resim anlamına gelen e ile harf anlamına gelen moji kelimesinin birleşiminden meydana gelen emoji kelimesi; yazılı mesajlarda duyguları ya da bir takım kavramları ifade etmede kullanılan görsel simge olarak tanımlanır. Emoji İlk olarak 1998 yılında, Japonya’da bir cep telefonu firmasında çalışmakta olan Shigetaka Kurita tarafından 176 adet olarak tasarlanmıştır. 2010 yılında Apple’ın iPhone cihazları üzerinde emojileri desteklemeye başlamasından sonra emoji kullanımı evrensel bir popülerlik kazanmıştır. Yazılı mesajlarda emoji kullanımı yaygın bir hâl alırken, bu konuda ülkemizde yapılan çalışmaların son derece sınırlı olduğunu görmekteyiz. Bu az sayıdaki çalışmalarda, özellikle genç kuşağın emojiye yönelik olumlu bir tutuma sahip olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Türk üniversite öğrencilerin emoji algısı cinsiyet faktörü göz önünde bulundurularak incelenmiştir. Namık Kemal Üniversit
