Earlier last year, Rayouf Alhumedhi, a young Saudi student in Berlin, Germany, was trying to start a group chat on WhatsApp with her friends when she realized something important was missing.<\/p>\n
Her friends decided to title the group chat by using an emoji that represented each of their faces.<\/p>\n
Though emoji has options for turbans, detective fedoras, and police officer caps there’s no option for the traditional headscarf worn by around 550 million Muslim women in the world<\/p>\n
She\u00a0proposed the new emoji sign for Unicode 10 and it was eventually successfully approved.<\/p>\n
