In cyberspace, one emoji sometimes trumps all the words.

In another three months, China's emoji-loving young netizens will be able to use visual expressions based on the images of country's emperors and concubines to express their feelings, thanks to a project initiated by the Beijing's Palace Museum, or the Forbidden City.

The museum, China's former imperial palace from 1420 to 1911, reached an agreement with Tencent Holdings Ltd earlier this week to launch a long-term strategic cooperation to incubate creative ideas that will usher in the Forbidden City's cultural relics into peoples' daily entertainment and lives.
