Are you a female astronaut or a male judge? Apple has your back.
As spotted by Emojipedia (https://twitter.com/Emojipedia/status/768546070913814529), the company has requested (http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16221r2-additional-zwj-seq.pdf) male and female variations of five new professions be added to the next Unicode update — an artist, a firefighter, a pilot, an astronaut and*a judge.*
Apple has previously indicated (http://mashable.com/2016/08/01/apple-women-emoji-ios-10/#6sp3LLGyikqW?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) its desire for the additions, but we finally have examples of what the new emoji could look like.
