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

For Alhumedhi, who wears a hijab headscarf, this wasn’t so easy<\/h3>\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

So Alhumedhi took matters into her own hands.<\/h3>\n

She\u00a0proposed the new emoji sign for Unicode 10 and it was eventually successfully approved.<\/p>\n

Time magazine is now listing the 16-year-old Saudi girl on its \u201c30 Most Influential Teens\u201d list for 2017<\/h3>\n
