Every day 90% of the world’s population uses emojis to express the things we can’t quite find the words for. And have you noticed how all of the professional emojis “ doctor, farmer, scientist and chef - are male whereas women are resigned to the ranks of princess, bride or getting a haircut.
All that is all about to change. The Unicode Consortium, who are responsible for making iPhone emojis, have announced plans to promote more gender equality by launching a full range of 11 female professional emojis, complete with the variety of skin tones already available. These new developments are based on a proposal from Google back in May to increase gender equality across the board.
