Re:Why the Emoji Was Inevitable (2017) by gumby on Monday September 02, 2019 @04:16PM (#20861507)
Emojis far predated the iphone, much less its introduction in Japan, hence the global use of the Japanese term.

As for the Unicode issue: each phone network (and some of the pre-phone Japanese computers) used different code points and had different sets of emojis.

Also is iOS really "an OS designed to play mp3s?" it isn't the iPod's simple OS and really was a version of OS X.
