#Emojii symbol for female skin#

New professional emojis come in a range of skin tones and hair colors.

What's more, we'll see the addition of a male or female counterpart to 33 emojis that already existed in only one gender. The Unicode Emoji Subcommittee is making it possible for software to display 11 new professional emojis in both genders (and with a range of skin tones and hair colors available). But it's not just emoji women - roles are opening up for emojis of all genders (for emojis, gender is primarily marked by hair length). So what are we getting? A female scientist, a female rock star, a female runner. Google proposed the changes in May and greeted today's announcement with fanfare on its official blog. We like to think women can do anything, but what about women emojis? Well, the committee that standardizes these little symbols said Thursday that it would give us more roles for females.
