Apple to roll out more diverse emoji for iOS and OS X

Be on the lookout for diverse emoji characters in a future OS X and iOS update: Apple released a beta version of OS X 10.10.3 on Monday that shows a selection of new emoji. Most notably, each emoji representing a person (or various hand gestures) will come with an array of skin tones to choose from. These new racially diverse emoji are found in the latest iOS beta release as well, iOS 8.3 beta 2. </p><figure class="large ">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/02/emoji_hands-100569660-large.jpg) <small class="credit"><a href="http://gizmodo.com/here-are-apples-diverse-and-racist-or-jaundiced-emo-1687526939" target="_blank">Gizmodo[/url] </small></figure>

The default skin tone for these emoji is bright yellow (think The Simpsons), which we should assume is supposed to represent neutrality (and not jaundice). To change it, tap and hold the emoji icon to reveal the whole selection for that emoji. Each one has six different skin/hair color options to choose from. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2887892/apple-to-roll-out-more-diverse-emoji-for-ios-and-os-x.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
