<p>Emoji are those little images you can send in text messages to friends and family. Nine-year-old Leila in New Jersey wants to know how they were invented. So in this episode we find out with Jane Solomon, editor at<a href="https://emojipedia.org/"><strong> Emojipedia</strong></a> and Paul Galloway of the<a href="https://www.moma.org/"><strong> Museum of Modern Art</strong></a> in New York.
