Summary | Emojis are centrally organized in the Unicode Consortium based in Silicon Valley, CA. They decide which emojis are made available on all devices. They usually accept emojis that are globally significant, like for example the new hijab emoji. Even though they try to make their emoijis more diverse, they still get criticized for giving all male emojis short hair and all female emojis long hair. Many Japanese people say that Westerners misunderstand many of the emotive emojis and misuse them.

Summary | A German organization for the inclusion of people with disabilities into public life is offering a set of Inklumojis: emojis that depict people with disabilities. These include a man in a wheelchair with fire shooting out of the back suggesting speed, athletes with leg prosthetics, a romantic couple holding hands, one of them with a prosthetic arm, and many more. Emojis can normalize people with disabilities much easier than big advertising campaigns which is why they will attempt to have their emojis included by the Unicode Consortium.
