an emoji vs a emoji

Both 'an emoji' and 'a emoji' are commonly used, but 'an emoji' is the correct form. The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the sound that follows. Since 'emoji' starts with a vowel sound, 'an' is used before it.

an emoji

This is the correct form.

Use 'an emoji' when referring to a single emoji. The use of 'an' is based on the vowel sound at the beginning of 'emoji'.

Examples:

An emoji can convey a lot of meaning in just a small image.
