Emoji for Food Allergies could eventually iOS



A new proposal to the Unicode Consortium suggests adding emojis specific food allergy from the norm. The proposal has been submitted by a Google engineer and so far has not confirmed that this is going to add to the official standard.

But while these emojis can not be added to the standard, at least not for now, they seem interesting enough to take a look. Google engineer has suggested that new icons of peanuts, soybeans, buckwheat, sesame seeds, kiwi, celery, beans, lupine, mustard, nuts, eggs, dairy products and gluten is added to help people with allergies to some kind of food to be expressed in the talks.

Icons could be these:


The truth is that this proposal, while interesting, is not accepted as part of the new update Unicode.

New emoji added to the Unicode version 8

Recently we presented the new emojis that had been added to the Unicode standard in August , representing a hot dog, a taco, burrito, turkey or even a unicorn, among many others.

With the release of iOS 8.3 Apple took more than 300 new emoji , with new pictograms to give more variety to which he had so far, with emoji reflecting different cultures with different skin tones.


The latest Unicode version 8 added 37 new emoji and 5 new modifiers for different skin colors, in addition to 8,000 new characters, with lyrics that supported new languages ​​and six new scripts.

It seems unlikely that the proposal Engineer Google, we have known thanks to The Next Web is made ​​possible and these new emojis is present in a future update Unicode September, but certainly seems an interesting addition that would help all users allergic to some kind of food or feed in particular, to express themselves more effectively in the instant messaging applications or the like.
