Whose job is it to come up with more emojis? And what does that working meeting look like? Does the team receive requests from users and then it gets prioritized somehow? It’s shocking how important emojis have become. Granted some people have never gotten on board and never will, but who would have thought that emojis would be the beacon of inclusivity?? At first, I kind of likened the job of an emoji creator to that of a paint namer or hallmark card writer. A little frivolous, a little fun, very “take it or leave it.” But now I see them as stewards of inclusivity and diversity. When the multiple shades of skin debuted, it was applauded and made headlines. The latest release includes a gentlemen with a mustache bottle feeding a baby, boba tea, a nesting doll. I find myself equal parts confused and delighted.
