Emoji world to go gender-inclusive after release of 117 new emojis

Soon you will have emojis that are gender-inclusive. The Unicode Consortium has recently released 117 new emojis for 2020. The intention behind the new release is to make the emoji world more sensitive and gender-inclusive than ever. The new batch also includes new skin tones for existing emojis, as per the report by Engadget.

The new emoji range comes with the transgender flag and symbol. The consortium has also given gender-sensitive options to the existing emojis, such as the veil, the tuxedo, and the feeding baby. At the moment, those emojis only present a woman in the veil or a woman feeding the baby.

According to the report, Google and Microsoft have also extended their support to the Consortium’s proposal of incorporating new emojis.
