After Miley Cyrusquite rightly grumbledabout the lack of racial multifariousness in iOS emojis a farseeing metre ago , MTV Act decided to call for Applewhat it had done about it . Surprisingly , it turns out , it ’s push for alteration !
The enquiry — post straight off to Tim Cook!—was replied to by Katie Cotton , Apple ’s vice president of universal embodied communications :
“ Tim forwarded your email to me . We agree with you . Our emoji characters are based on the Unicode standard , which is necessary for them to be display by rights across many political platform . There take to be more multifariousness in the emoji character set , and we have been working close with the Unicode Consortium in an campaign to update the standard . ”
There ’s no obvious appointment by which the Unicode issue will be sorted , though — so , for now , you ’re stuck with an overwhelming white presence in your emojis . [ MTV ActviaTechCrunch ]
