Summary | A 15-year old girl named Rayouf Alhumedhi submitted a draft of a hijab emoji to Unicode Consortium. She got the idea when she wanted to name a group chat of her friends with emojis representing each one of them. Then she noticed that none of the emojis actually represent her. After some research online she got in touch with Unicode Consortium and was helped by one of the employees there to make a formal emoji submission.

Summary | A WhatsApp chain message is going around offering people free holiday emojis. A link directs them to a dodgy website where they type in their phone number and service provider. Instead of getting free emojis however one is signed up for an expensive subscription with hardly any possibility to quit. People should be careful with content they receive and spread through WhatsApp.
