Why using the search bar to find emojis, does it display the male and female forms, but never show the gender neutral version even though such an emoji does exist?

7 0 ReplyYes, orange = neutral, purple = female, blue = male. They just did it like that

I was compelled by their recent announcement that they're switching to recycled cobalt (which is more sustainable and doesn't use child labour) by 2025, which might make them the only major smartphone company to do so. Fairphone is another option as far as that goes.

TIL about the cobalt thing, though. Interesting- hopefully other major companies follow along.
