The head of a charity Scope said, “Social media is hugely influential and it’s great to see these new disability-inclusive emojis.
Up to now, disability has been greatly under-represented.”
Another emoji that has caught the attention is ‘period emoji’ depicting a drop of blood. The design of this emoji was requested by Plan International UK after they held a vote in 2017 on what would be the best way to illustrate menstruation.
After hearing the news on the release of period emoji, the head of one of the girl’s charity said, ‘For years we’ve obsessively silenced and euphemized periods,’ And according to him, in order to end the shame around periods, the first step is talking about it.
