I think this is the complete list https://emojipedia.org/apple/ Ummm, some new one's coming out later this year https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/07/apple-previews-new-emoji-coming-later-this-year/
In China, internet slang is almost indecipherable and evolves quickly https://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2016/09/05/mandarin-monday-lesson-chinese-internet-slang
So do I, Abner. :bigok: So is this book: https://nyupress.org/books/9781479894505/ And no, jhp, I don't find the emoji racist. Apple isn't saying that at all. (Are you?) Islam is a religion. Muslims come in more than one colour. Same as Christians - and Jews, for that matter. And Buddhists, I'm sure. etc. ... J.
If you look at the first link I posted you'll see that the people emojis come in a range of colors. You get to choose the one you use. But you knew that.
I didn't, really - I just looked at Abner's link. But it's a good idea. The prejudices of long-dead (or living) U.S. Presidents are not a source of valid knowledge - and certainly not wisdom. Sample - this is about a more recently-dead President's antisemitism: Washingtonpost.com: New Tapes Reveal Depth of Nixon's Anti-Semitism Obviously, a mixed lot, as far as tolerance goes, some of those U.S. Presidents. I liked Obama. Still do. J.
You rang, Bruce? :smile: Catholic emojis, including Priest: This Catholic Emoji app is just awesome! – EpicPew Hasidic Rabbi emoji included here: Our Jewish Answer to Facebook Not from Apple yet but I did read there's a petition to the company underway (seriously). J.
Thanks for the book recommendation. On another note, I think I am going to go buy some Halal meat sometime this week. The quality is unsurpassed.
