MOUNTAIN VIEW, calif. — Google wants professional women to be better represented in emoji form.
In a proposal to the Unicode Consortium, which controls specifications for emoji, Google says it wants to create a new set “with a goal of highlighting the diversity of women’s careers and empowering girls everywhere.” The proposal says women, and those under 30 in particular, are the most frequent emoji users.
Sample emoji provided by Google in the proposal show several female characters in professional clothing, including business suits, lab coats, medical scrubs and construction hats.
