The Unicode Consortium today announced that its president and
co-founder, Dr. Mark Davis, will deliver the keynote address at this
year’s Internationalization & Unicode Conference (IUC) in Santa Clara,
CA. The conference will take place November 3rd-5th
at the Hyatt Regency hotel.
Dr. Davis’s talk will discuss where emoji came from, why they have
gotten so popular, where they’ve missed the mark, and what the future
will bring. The title is itself in emoji: www.unicodeconference.org/emoji.
“Emoji became very popular in Japan right after they were introduced in
1999,” said Dr. Davis. “Once they were added to Unicode in 2010, they
became popular worldwide, used in modern mobile phones, texting systems,
email, and so on. For example, there were some 6,000 articles on emoji
in the month after Unicode 7.0 released, according to Google News.”
The presentation will cover some of the history of emoji, how they came
to be added to Unicode, how they are used in practice, some of the
deficiencies that people see (such as the lack of human diversity, and
why there isn’t a hot dog emoji). He will then summarize some of the
future additions from Unicode and answer some of the most common
questions about emoji.
IUC is the premier event covering the latest in industry standards and
best practices for bringing software and Web applications to worldwide
markets. Subject areas include the global impact, programming practices,
fonts and rendering, and mobile computing. For the eighth year, Adobe
will be sponsoring the conference.

The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many ‘things'). When we are looking at the world of IoT, we should take a step back, look at the big picture. What value are these devices providing. IoT is not about the devices, its about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits. This paper discusses the considerations when dealing with the...
