The new emojis end with old claims

iOS presents 56 new images with pregnant women, headscarves and beards

  The equality between men and women is a battle that has been waged for a long time and little by little small contests are winning. One of those races is the parity in the emojis that arrived in 2016 when the first 12x12 pixels of women who played sports arrived

In the month of May, Google introduced in all its Android phones, according to Unicode, thirteen new designs that incorporated emojis of men and women. Months later it was the turn of Apple that with the arrival of iOS 10 took the opportunity to give access to more than 100 new images among which were women surfing, doctors or police.

   The latest update of the new language on smartphones will arrive in the coming months after the approval of Unicode. Taking advantage of the celebration of Emoji Day this week, Apple has released a preview of the small images that will be seen in iOS, macOS and watchOS, but, yes, we will have to wait until the end of 2017.

Among the novelties of Apple appear a bearded person, food like a sandwich, a man doing yoga or zombies. In addition, the wide range of animals is extended in Apple devices with the addition of a T-Rex and a zebra.

Although the biggest news is an old claim to Unicode Consortium. In 2016, a 15-year-old girl named Rayouf Alhumedhi asked for the addition of a woman with a hijab. In the last announcement of Apple, the wishes of Alhumedhi have been fulfilled and already part of the library, not yet visible, of emojis of the giant of Cupertino.

Along with this small appearance, Apple engineers have for the first time achieved that the 'academics' of Unicode Consortium accept in their catalog the image of a nursing mother that joins the other 68 emojis, which will be available only at Apple.
