Emojis are so common in our daily usage many of us never stop to think about them other than picking our favourite smiley face to send. Recent efforts have been made to diversify emojis with skin colour and hair options to make all users feel included.
A schoolgirl from Nottinghamshire is campaigning for a major change to emojis that could help break years of stigma. Lowri Moore, 13, has previously taken on Disney’s creative team and now has her sights set on the Unicode Consortium who approve emojis, reports NottinghamshireLive.
Lowri wrote a letter to Disney in 2019 asking them to represent glasses wearers more in their films. Just two years later Encanto was released and included main character Mirabel, who wears glasses throughout.
