Emoji又出新表情了！

近日，Emojipedia网站推出了新一批不同发色和肤色组合的emoji表情，新增的发色不仅包括红发、白发，还有小短卷和光头等发型。据《每日邮报》报道，如果这些emoji表情被统一码协会批准，那么红发人士和光头人士可能在2018年就能获得他们的专属表情了。

Redheads and people who are losing their hair could finally get their own emoji.
红发人士和光头人士终于都可以获得他们的专属emoji表情了。

The Emojipedia website has submitted new emojis following demands for them to be more diverse.
Emojipedia网站已经提交了这些新的表情。而此前就有要求称，emoji表情应该更加多样化。

If its ideas are approved, the new emoji could be added next year, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.
如果这些表情获得批准，明年就可以增加到表情库里，此外，还会有白发、卷发以及小短卷发型等新表情。

 

 

New styles 'focus on appearances that aren’t currently supported in the informal skin tone/hair color pairings used by many vendors', the Emojipedia's submission page said.
Emojipedia在其申请页面中写道，emoji的新风格“主要集中在目前许多手机上使用的非官方肤色和发色组合所不支持的外形特征上。”

The page gave Jessica Chastain and Ed Sheeran as examples of people with red hair.
Emojipedia列举的红发人士包括杰西卡•查斯坦和艾德•希兰。

Sinead O'Connor and Samuel L Jackson were given as examples of people with no hair or a shaven head.
西尼德•奥康娜和塞缪尔•L•杰克逊被列为没头发或剃光头的代表。

The emoji could be released in 2018 if chosen by the Unicode Consortium following a number of complaints about lack of diversity.
如果这些emoji表情被统一码协会批准，就可能在2018年推出。该协会此前收到了一系列投诉，指责其缺乏多样性。
