Now it's time to represent people with disabilities, so that they too are present at Apple.
Apple launches new Emojis that represent people with disabilities
With the intention that the greatest number of users feel represented, Apple has proposed new emoticons.
The news has come out thanks to the Emojipedia blog entry. Where it seems that the company Unicode Consortium, the organization in charge of standardizing these pictograms, has been requested.
We must remember that those from Cupertino were the first to apply improvements to their operating system, devices and computers for people with disabilities.
Which emoticons will be included?
Apple has teamed up with different associations to design these Emojis. He has always tried to help people whose day to day is more difficult than the rest.
New proposals include:
- A guide dog
- Boy with a cane representing a blind person
- Deaf guy: at the moment there is only one person who points to the cheek with his index finger representing the deaf sign gesture in American Sign Language.
- Person in electric wheelchair.
- Person with an electric wheelchair.
- Arm and leg prosthesis
The new Emojis that represent people with disabilities
Apparently they won't be the only ones, but they will be the first to arrive.
When will the emojis representing people with disabilities arrive?
We all want to see on iOS the Emojis that represent people with disabilities.
This is simply an inclusive gesture to normalize the diversity of our daily lives.
Maybe we'll see it in version 11.3, or maybe we'll have to wait for iOS 12, we don't know yet.
But the good news is that little by little iOS integrates all people, either with Emojis or by improving accessibility.
