Google wants Emoji emoticons of professional women to exist
Little by little the Emoji emoticons have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Either through messaging applications as WhatsApp, or on social networks asFacebook and Twitter where help us express each situation and thought. However, there is still a long way to go to achieve a collection of drawings that represents today's society.That is why Google has proposed the introduction of 13 new Emoji emoticons where working women are the key
This is a formal proposal by Google to the Unicode consortium of companies that regulates and standardises the use of Emoji emoticons In said document, that has been made public , the search engine company raises up to 13 new Emoji emoticons with which to represent different jobs and trades The curious thing is that it advocates representation feminine of the same, although without forgetting the masculine, of course. An approach that, we must not forget, must first be approved by the consortium before seeing it in our applications and social networks.
In the proposal we find professionals from music, education, food, field work, industry, technology, he alth and businessJobs that have not been chosen randomly, but have a careful market study behind them. Thus, Google has served the sectors of agriculture, industry and services, knowing what they are the data on popularity, growth and representation of each work at global level All this without leaving aside the campaigns on social networks and other acts that have had social repercussions and that have guided the proposal for the presentation of these 13 trades
With all of these trades, Internet users will have more options at their disposal to represent work, whether they are men or women, and respecting all the variations regarding skin color that have been raised in the latest Unicode revisions But Google wants to go one step further, and thinks of an even broader gender representation for the future , avoiding limiting yourself exclusively to the masculine and feminine, although they will first have to approve your current proposal.
At the moment it is only a proposal that has to be taken into consideration. Thus, the consortium of Unicode will have to ask whether the representation is valid, marrying both the aesthetic of the current Emoji emoticon collection, as well as with the trends and the representation and social force that these proposals must have in order to be added. For now Google is confident that these new emoticons can be accepted and added to the revision that will be released at late 2016
To date, Apple has consistently been the company that has most clearly supported broad representation across the Emoji emoticons, being the first to echo the icons of gay couples Now Google wants to go a step further in the representativeness of these figures, looking especially at the female gender so that users can use them in their day to day. For the moment we will have to wait for the decision of the Unicode consortium, who must first close the list of accepted in the review of the next June, where the paellaemoji is expected to be one of the new icons.
