The Sharp WD-A551 and similar devices assigned pictographs to several empty slots of JIS X0208:1990. This was the base for J-Phone and hence SoftBank emojis.
The electronic typewriters WD-A551, made by Sharp from 1991, used some empty rows in JIS X 0208 to encode bout 160 pictograms that have a striking resemblance of later emojis used on phones.
