description This study examines criminal behavior that takes place using emojis on social media applications. These are new types of criminal behavior that traditional legislation has not yet fully regulated. Therefore, this study aims to uncover the concept of emojis, the nature of them, the methods of incrimination used, and the mechanisms of proof in crimes involving these emojis. The study also aims to reveal the variable meanings of such emojis according to the cultures of different populations and groups. This is achieved by defining the concept of emojis, identifying the different types of criminal behavior associated with them, and outlining the methods used to prove such crimes.
