More inclusive emoji in the works


If you've ever felt like Diva Girl or Dancing Twins just weren't quite reflective of your feelings, you're not alone.

It appears that The Unicode Consortium folks are hard at work developing the first diverse group of emoji.

While this proposal is still a work in progress, we believe the inclusion of diverse emoji is a needed and long overdue update.

Thanks to Twitter user @mylestanzer for that head's up!
