An overwhelming majority of people around the globe want emojis to be more inclusive and culturally distinct so they can show how they feel, according to a new Adobe study.
Adobe's latest Global Emoji Diversity & Inclusion report released Thursday found 83% of global emoji users want designers of the small digital images used to convey emotions to incorporate more inclusive representation. The survey of 7,000 frequent emoji users from seven countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, Australia and South Korea, revealed 54% of respondents felt their identity was adequately reflected in current emoji options. Just 37% of emoji users with a disability said they felt represented by currently available emoji.More Related News
