I'm pleased today to introduce Jenny Lee, who is a vice chair of the Unicode Emoji subcommittee.

Graduated from the college herself and is back in Cambridge today to talk with us all about emoji.

So please join me in welcoming Jenny Lee.

So a fun fact professor and Malin and I actually, we're in the same class at Harvard, and I actually took CS 50 as, ah, freshman, because I was in applied math and economics, Major.

But at that point, it was not like the lifestyle brand that has since become s O.

I definitely appreciate, like all the bells and whistles and the fact that we now get free pizza and, like, lots of live streaming, So Ah, David, I guess, Saw.

I guess maybe you saw Jimmy Kimmel appearance I had on emoji and asked me to come speak.

So I'm gonna give you sort of a fun overview of like, how does an emoji become an emoji?

Um, So I'm going to start the story with my friend whose name is being Lou, who is a designer very well known for having designed a Twitter fail well, And she's Chinese Australia, and I'm Chinese American, and we were texting about dumplings.

So that is what Chinese ish women do with each other.

You know, this photo of dumplings that I was cooking and she was like, Yum, yum, yum, yum fried dumplings, You know, Hey, a knife and fork, knife and fork and then letting She's like, I'm surprised that apple doesn't have a dumpling emoji.

And then, like, you know, that would probably been the end of anything because, you know, many conversations just sort of end on the like surprise that something doesn't exist.

But half an hour later on my screen pops like this dumpling with blinking eyes.

You don't actually get the whole full of fact of, like, the bling bling dumpling ah, that she had created.

And she had decided to design her own dumpling emoji because she was designer.

I was really kind of startled when I discovered there was no dumpling emoji, right, cause like I knew that emoji originally Japanese.

And that's why there are a lot of Japanese foods on the keyboard, right?

They're, like, kind of a bunch of weird Japanese foods.

Japan, I think, like fishy things on a stick.

This is a fish cake you wanted to call old.

Um, basically, I mean, there's even like the whole, like rice ball that looks like it's had a bikini wax.

And so But there was no dumpling emoji, which I thought was very strange because, like if you think about it, dumplings or universal food like every country, has their version of a dumb playing like it's an empanada or paro G or, um, you know, uh, Paul Meany or like even ravioli is a form of dumpling like essentially like there's universal truth of yummy goodness inside her car boy carbohydrate shell that basically every culture has discovered.

Um, so I was like, Okay, dumplings are universal, and, of course, a movie or universal and the fact that therefore, there wasn't a dumb thing about due to told me whatever system in place was like, basically broken.

I had, like, no idea where emoji came from, but I was like a woman on a mission to define herself for dumpling emoji.

But, you know, if you Google and very quickly, you get to the website and I did of the Unicode Consortium, which is a nonprofit organization based in Mountain View, California, who has Ah.

At that point, I discovered 12 full voting members, nine of which were U S multinational tech companies.

So this was in late 2005 when I started going down the rabbit hole.

So these companies the nine where things like Oracle and IBM and Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Apple, Facebook and Yahoo Of the three that were not U s multinational tech companies, but they were German company ASAP, the Chinese company Cua way, which no one had heard of back then.

But like a lot of people have heard of now and then the government of Oman, right, so these were These were the 12 full voting members who paid $18,000 a year to vote on emoji.

And I was, like, kind of horrified by this, like, the sort of like, you know, tech took a ball plus Oman.

Um, so So I was, like, very indignant, first of all, and I also discovered, like, $18,000 times like 12 wouldn't take that much money to take overthe code conservative.

But luck leaders like this tiny little loophole, which is that you conjoined as individual for $75?

But you get to show up at the meetings and you cannot add it to their mental us.

So, you know, I'm like, Okay, you know, like I like, you know, paid my $75 online.

We're using a credit card and, like, became a Unicode member.

Like, join the email And I was like, Okay, I'm on a mission and and so they had They have these meetings, and so, you know, you're an email list and they send out this Ah RSVP request and said, Who's going to come to the next meeting?

I looked at my calendar and I was like, I will be in the Bay area at that time.

And I don't completely know what I was expecting.

Um, so essentially, maybe, like, a little congress, Like a very many Congress or something.

But I took my, you know, I got on public transit and actually went to the apple headquarters.

This is in Sunnyvale, and, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I thought was like to be, like, 100 people.

Maybe like the number of people in this room, but sort of like, more neatly organized and sort of, you know, a Nancy Pelosi kind of style like art.

This is the room where people decide these are the people who decide your emoji.

Ah, these were this is a photo from the November 2015.

Um, and it was really weird because first of all, they were super excited to see me because they have.

Most of these people have been working together for like, 25 years.

And, like new people don't just, like, randomly show up and they're like, you know, tell us about yourself.

And it totally had the vibe of, like, a new church.

Like, really, really, really nice old white people.

And so the the sort of group, you know, they were basically mostly male, mostly engineers, Um, mostly older.

And, you know, one of them even had a daughter that had made him a shirt that said shadowy emoji overlord.

This is the chair of the Unicode Emoji, some committee, and the president of Unicode, Mark Davis.

So, um, they just sort of word debating about emoji, You know, things like milk.

Should it be a bottle of milk should be a carton of milk.

Then there was, like so, you know, kind of big debate about milk.

And then there was, like, this question about beans, red beans, green beans, black pains like which being should we choose?

And it was like parallel paralysis over the color of being, So there's no being emoji.

If you haven't noticed, there is a glass of milk emoji and I was like, this system is, like, clearly broken and, like, I'm gonna go fix it.

It's called Imagination, Whose motto is emoji by the people for the people.

So it was me and my friend eating from way back when And, um And then you know, our you know, our motto is more inclusive and representative Emoji, you're starting with a dumpling, which was our mission to begin with.

We're gonna get the dumpling emoji and made a Kickstarter video.

Um, in the dumpling emoji project, I think dumpling emoji.

And we made this video dumpling that one of the most universal cross cultural feeds in the world.
