Google comes up with female emojis (arab news)
GOOGLE has created 13 new emojis that show a more realistic and textured representation of women. The team, Rachel Been, Nicole Bleuel, Agustin Fonts, and Mark Davis, proposed the emojis at a recent meeting of the Unicode Consortium, a Silicon Valley nonprofit that oversees new emojis, Tech Insider reports.
The proposed professions (also with male versions) include a doctor, scientist, coder, mechanic, chef, among others.
The team will find out by the end of 2016 if its emojis have been accepted.
The team further hopes to foster a more complex representation of women’s careers, a Google spokesperson said.
The argument for female emojis might seem a little trivial, but millions of people worldwide use them to communicate every day. Young women make up the majority — 78 percent of women are frequent emoji users versus 60 percent of men.
The team chose professions dominated by women as well as ones that show a rising female workforce, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the US Department of Labor.
