A new set of emoji for 2019 includes people with wheelchairs, canes, and hearing aids, but are these designs as accurate as they could be" Last week, the Unicode Consortium announced the approval of 59 new emoji (230 when counting all gender variations and skin tones) for 2019, including symbols representing a yawning face, a falafel, an otter, and ballet shoes, as well as interracial and gender-inclusive couples. Another prominent theme" Emoji of disabled people.
These disability-related emoji, including people in manual and motorized wheelchairs, people walking with probing canes, guide dogs, an ear with a hearing aid, and a mechanical arm and leg, were suggested by Apple in a proposal submitted to the Unicode Consortium last March. Developed by Apple in concert with organizations like the National Association of the Deaf, the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and the American Council of the Blind, the emoji are intended to represent four disability communities as identified by the tech company: blind and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, physical motor, and hidden disabilities.
While some disabled people have expressed their approval of the emoji, others are skeptical, even offering up revisions of the designs. As reactions to these new emoji continue to pour in, one can?t help but ask: How do you design a symbol for disability"
