Emojis are everywhere \u2014 from text messages to Snapchat. They might seem frivolous, but they are used by millions (maybe billions!) of people every day. And, let\u2019s face it, emojis depicting women have been limited. There\u2019s the woman painting her nails. The lady dancing. In emoji land, women aren\u2019t well-represented. Now, that\u2019s all changing. A group of four Google designers created 11 new emojis that show women in new \u2014 and realistic \u2014 professions. Let\u2019s learn a bit more about these gender equality emojis.<\/p>\n

What Professions are Represented?<\/strong>
\nThe new professions are diverse. Some of the professions included are a female doctor, coder, mechanic, chef, farmer, musician, teacher, and scientist, among others. Male versions of these emoji professions will also be available.<\/p>\n

How Were the Professions Chosen?<\/strong>
\nThe professions were presented at the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit in Silicon Valley that considers the adoption of new emojis. The professions were chosen because women dominated these professions \u2014 or they were joining these workforces in increasing numbers.<\/p>\n

Who Cares?<\/strong>
\nIt might seem like it doesn\u2019t matter whether or not women are represented equally in tiny cartoon figure form as men. But millions of people do use emojis to communicate on a variety of devices every day. 78% of women use emojis often, in contrast to only 60% of men. Young girls in particular send a billion emojis every day.<\/p>\n

That frequency of emoji use was one of the reasons the designers saw the need for the new emojis. Currently, male emojis dominate the Unicode \u2014 emoji men have professions like construction work and police work, and take part in sports like surfing, bike riding, and boat rowing. Women emojis, in contrast, don\u2019t have as many options. They primarily perform stereotypically feminine activities like painting their nails or having their hair cut.<\/p>\n

When Will I Get my New Emojis on my Phone?<\/strong>
\nNot yet. Although these emojis have been created and approved, they won\u2019t appear automatically on your phone. Instead, Google, Apple, and Microsoft have to deploy them into their applications for use.<\/p>\n

When you get your new empowered emojis, you\u2019re never going to want to stop texting with them. But, if you\u2019re not careful, that can take a toll on your phone. PSafe Total can help.
