History of Enfour, Inc. and Emoji

It all started in Japan 20 years ago with user defined bitmap characters on DOS PCs.
Called ‘gaiji’ -literally “outside characters”, they were variant forms of Japanese characters or small pictures.

18 years ago Enfour’s initial product was the world’s first ‘gaiji’ outline font, “PS GaijiKit”. This included 1500 character variants, symbols and emoticons.

In 1993 Sharp introduced the Zaurus PDA which included a smaller set of ‘gaiji’ symbols.

Enfour released the “UniFEP” Japanese kit for the Apple Newton in 1994. This included compatibility with the Sharp character set.

In association with Sony, Inc., Enfour developed a ‘gaiji’ character set for the CD-Text and MiniDisc. In 1996 this was officially adopted by the Japan Record Association as the “Music Gaiji” specification (RIS 506−1996) .

In 1999 DoCoMo released “emoji” for their ‘i-mode’ mobile phone platform -literally “picture characters”. It contained a large number of emoticons previously defined by Sharp and Enfour.

In 2000, Enfour released a desktop TrueType font called “Keitai Font” (’keitai’ = mobile phone) opening up ‘emoji’ to MacOS and Windows.

Since then, Enfour has provided Japanese ‘emoji’ fonts to a number of mobile handset manufactures -including Motorola and Nokia.

Now Enfour brings you “Emoji Mailer” that lets iPhone & iPod touch users send emoji to Mac & Windows desktops as well and non-Japanese smartphones.
