Prepare to update: A redhead emoji is coming to a phone near you
For years now, the redheaded community have sought to have their locks represented on the emoji front, and for years now they've been brutally rebuffed.
While there are surplus emojis we have little use for, our ginger friends have been given little to no recognition on the digital front… until now, that is.
According to emerging reports, a redhead emoji is set for release next year, people.
The Independent reports that Emojipedia have released a list of 67 emojis currently under consideration, and the flame-haired individual is among them.
But before it's considered a sure thing, it's important to note that the proposed emoji needs to make it through the subcommittee's fourth-quarter meeting, but so far, things are looking good for our ginger friends.
Pressure mounted in recent months when Twitter became a veritable haven for anyone who felt personally victimised by the lack of a ginger emoji.
Come on, Apple. Release the ginger! #WorldEmojiiDay#gingerproblems #gingeremoji
