And it is that one of those responsible for Unicode, the aforementioned organization in charge of standardizing these emoticons, has decided to support the paellaemoji or paella Emoji emoticon for your next review. In other words, they are considering expanding the official collection with aSpanish gastronomy dish Something that many have been claiming for a long time after using emoticons so typical of other cultures such as the hamburger or the sushi,but without Spanish representation of any kind.
The paellaemoji campaign came about with the comedian Eugeni Alemany , Valencian and defender of this dish at all costs.After a paella contest, the idea was to get more representation of this dish. This is how he got a rice brand to offer the necessary support to travel to Sillicon Valley, California, where he managed to convince the big technology companies about the need for this icon. However, the campaign did not achieve its initial mission at first, although they managed to focus efforts to publicize this icon.
And it is necessary that Unicode accept the emoticon proposals and, later, be approved. All this taking into account various factors such as respect for the artistic lines of the Emoji collection in its different versions, the request for part of Internet users, the repercussion of the concept it is representing, and other issues. Something that the creators of this campaign have known how to promote from social networks, getting the support of thousands of users and brands.Even creating a report in the form of a video to get the approval of Unicode.
Now we only have to wait and see if this organization decides to accept the emoticon Emoji of the paella and add it to the collection. At the moment it has been listed as shallow pan of food or pan with food in Spanish among the candidates for the next revision. Something that demonstrates the ignorance of the main ingredients and the dish in general by those responsible for Unicode. Although it is a big step. Along with this, other dishes are also welcome, such as the kebab, the salad or the glass of alcohol Emoticons with more animals or a shopping cart are not left aside. An evaluation process that will take time before the new collection of emoticons Emoji is published next year.
The negative point is that, after waiting for its acceptance, and in case the paella is finally a more emoticon, we will have to wait again until applications like WhatsApp and companies that create their own keyboards like Apple or Google collect all these news. Patience and perseverance to achieve paellaemoji
