World Emoji Day was founded in 2014 by Jeremy Burge, creator of Emojipedia, using July 17 because that is the date displayed on the calendar emoji 📅 in Apple’s original iOS design. World Day for International Justice marks July 17, 1998, when the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court was adopted — the first permanent global tribunal for the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. National Tattoo Day celebrates the art form of permanent skin decoration — a practice documented in ancient Egyptian mummies from 3351–3017 BCE and now observed by approximately 30 percent of American adults. National Lottery Day celebrates the state lottery as a form of legal gambling that generates more than $80 billion in annual U.S. ticket sales, with proceeds directed to public education and infrastructure in most states. A calendar emoji, a court of last resort, a needle and ink, and a lottery ticket.
