New Delhi Google is launching a new emoji showing multi-skin toned handshake, in a bid to bring gender diversity and inclusion into practice.
The multi-skin handshake emoji in 25 options should appear in the next release, Emoji 14.0, meaning the users should see it appear in 2022.
"These kinds of explorations are really important because the Unicode Consortium and Google really care about bringing inclusion into the Unicode Standard," said Jennifer Daniel, Google's creative director for emoji. "It's easy to identify 'quick solutions' but I try to stop and ask what does equitable representation really look like, and when is it just performative?"
