You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Noto Emoji KitKat 1f60d.svg|thumb|''Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes'' as it appeared in Google's [[Noto fonts|Noto Project]], in [[Android 4.4]] (as a [[Blob emoji]])]]
The '''Heart Eyes (😍)''' emoji is an [[ideogram]] that is used in communication to express happiness towards something. The [[Unicode Consortium]] listed it as the third most used [[emoji]] in 2019.<ref name=popularity>((cite web |title=Frequency of Emoji Use 2019 |url=https://home.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-frequency/ |publisher=[[Unicode]]))</ref>

==Development and usage history==
Development of emojis began in [[Japan]] in the 1990s, when [[NTT DoCoMo]] released a [[pager]] with the option to send a red heart in the text. Another pager was released and marketed at businesspeople by [[NTT DoCoMo]] but without the red heart. It received backlash, which caused NTT DoCoMo to change its stance and alert competitors to the demand for such [[ideogram]]s. The concept exploded in the country, causing NTT DoCoMo employee [[Shigetaka Kurita]] to create a set, which became known as emojis.<ref name=sciencefriday>((cite web |last=Mayer |first=Johanna |title=The Origin Of The Word ‘Emoji’ |url=https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/the-origin-of-the-word-emoji/ |work=[[Science Friday]]))</ref>

Many of [[Shigetaka Kurita]] focused on icon-like designs, portraying the weather, occupations, and mood. He didn't use any of the yellow-faced emojis we frequently use today.<ref>((Cite web |author=Jacopo Prisco |title=Shigetaka Kurita: The man who invented emoji |url=https://www.cnn.com/style/article/emoji-shigetaka-kurita-standards-manual/index.html |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=CNN |language=en))</ref> At some point in the evolution history, the yellow-faced emoji and the hearts were combined to create the heart eyes emoji. The first known version of this was in The Smiley Dictionary. The Dictionary was a plugin created by Nicolas Loufrani in the late 90s to allow people to send emoticons online. Unlike Kurita's designs, Loufrani focused solely on smiley designs representing emotion.

One of these designs was titled "love", which replaced the eyes of the smiley with two red hearts. It had a typical smiley design, with a broad smile.<ref>((cite web |title=The Smiley Dictionary - Mood Expressions |url=http://www.smileyworld.com/dictionary/categoryfaces.asp?cat=MoodExpressions |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041204235712/http://www.smileyworld.com/dictionary/categoryfaces.asp?cat=MoodExpressions |archive-date=2004-12-04  |publisher=[[Wayback Machine]]))</ref> Later designs from [[Unicode]] changed the design to have a slightly opened mouth.

==Popularity==
Since the launch of the [[Unicode]] emoji set, the heart eyes emoji has grown in popularity. In 2019, it was rated as the third most used emoji behind the [[Red Heart emoji]] and [[Face with Tears of Joy emoji]].<ref name=popularity /> It frequently appears in the top 10 lists for the most common emoji.<ref>((cite web |last1=Silva |first1=Christianna |title=Tears of joy emoji might be experiencing a renaissance |url=https://mashable.com/article/tears-of-joy-twitter-top-emoji |publisher=[[Mashable]] |date=February 9, 2022))</ref>
