" We&amp;#039;ve all been complaining that Apple&amp;#039;s emojis are a whole lotta stereotypical images, which is a problem because when there aren&amp;#039;t any adorable figures that look just like you, it&amp;#039;s hard to have fun explaining every ounce of what you feel through your little emoji friends! There are over 63 different animal icons, but basically not one person of color. What. Is. The. Deal?! Luckily, Apple finally admitted they need to add some more diversity to the lineup! An MTV editor emailed Apple&amp;#039;s CEO Tim Cook to get to the bottom of the issue, asking if they planned to issue a more diverse set of emojis.

Our emoji characters are based on the Unicode standard, which is necessary for them to be displayed properly across many platforms. There needs to be more diversity in the emoji character set, and we have been working closely with the Unicode Consortium in an effort to update the standard.&amp;quot; MORE!
