On this World Emoji Day, the American multinational has put on line a series of new emojis representing women and men of all ages and different physical aspects.
Bald, with gray hair or red hair, black skin or white skin: these are the faces of new emojis offered by Apple. The announcement of these new characters was made last February by Unicode Consortium, a group that decides the birth of new emojis.
In addition to these characters, images of exotic animals such as a kangaroo and a parrot, as well as food (a mango and lettuce) were also created.
In addition, emojis to represent people with different disabilities have been submitted to Unicode by Apple. These include a guide dog, a wheelchair user, and a blind person who travels with a cane. Unicode has promised to license some of these images in 2019.
