news for people whose skin isn’t necessarily the same jaundiced yellow or doughy pink exemplified in the universal pictographic language that is Emoji, guardians of the standardised hieroglyphs more humans find preferable to the written word, Unicode, announced overnight that a great deal more diversity in emoji skin tone will be to your soon. Kind of.Decreed the Unicode Gods:
People all over the world want to have emoji that reflect more human diversity, especially for skin tone. The Unicode emoji characters for people and body parts are meant to be generic, yet following the precedents set by the original Japanese carrier images, they are often shown with a light skin tone instead of a more generic (inhuman) appearance, such as a yellow/orange colour or a silhouette.Of course, there are many other types of diversity in human appearance besides different skin tones: Different hair styles and colour, use of eyeglasses, various kinds of facial hair, different body shapes, different headwear, and so on. It is beyond the scope of Unicode to provide an encoding-based mechanism for representing every aspect of human appearance diversity that emoji users might want to indicate.
The tl;dr version of which reads, ‘People love diversity! People love emoji! Sadly we cannot accommodate the entire spectrum of human diversity at this time. Enjoy your new emoji
