COVID-19 added a wrinkle to everything. Jennifer Daniel, Google's creative director for emoji, first proposed updating the handshake in 2019. After accepting her suggestion, the Unicode Consortium decided to include it in Emoji 14.0, which it had planned to release in 2021. But like with a lot of things over the past year, the pandemic led to a delay. Now that things are back on track, you should see the emoji on your phone sometime next year.

Multi-skin toned handshake emoji coming to Apple and Google in 2022
After years of texting highlighter-yellow handshakes to our friends, multi-skin toned handshake emoji are coming to our phones in 2022.
The Unicode Consortium, which — among other things — sets the standard for how text (emojis included) appears in modern software, has strived to create more inclusive emoji in recent releases. The most current example is interracial couples as part of the new iOS 14.5 emoji . While emoji appear as tiny icons, they require a massive amount of effort from conception to completion — and the handshakes involved even more work.
Google's blog post about how the multi-skin toned handshake emoji was years in the making is indicative of that journey. Jennifer Daniel, Google's creative director for emoji, explained why it's been such an arduous process.
Every emoji is made of code; when an emoji can come in different forms, such as different races, that code becomes that much more complex. "If emoji are letters," Daniel explained in the blog, "think of it this way: How many accent marks can you add to a letter? Adding more detail, like skin tone, gender or other customization options like color, to emoji gets more complicated."
Along with a volunteer subcommittee, Daniel worked for two years to make the 25 different hand skin-tone combinations come to fruition. Unlike the current one-tone handshake emoji, these new emojis needed separate code for two different hands (and for many combinations, two different skin tones).
These emoji were supposed to be released in 2021, but due to COVID they've been pushed back to 2022. Regardless, these 25 combinations will be a part of Emoji 14.0.
It's important to explore challenges like these, said Daniel, because the Unicode Consortium, Google, and many other key players in Big Tech (and beyond) want to emoji to be inclusive. "It's easy to identify 'quick solutions,'" she said, "but I try to stop and ask what does equitable representation really look like, and when is it just performative?"
Ex-NFL star Joe Horn 'disappointed' with toned down coverage around son's
The Carolina Panthers selected cornerback Jaycee Horn with the No. 8 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday night and while the fanfare around the selection was big, his father appeared to be somewhat disappointed with the lack of conversation around his son.
Joe Horn, the former New Orleans Saints wide receiver, is the father of Jaycee. He told ESPN on Friday he was "disappointed" with the lack of talk around his son and pointed to the Aaron Rodgers trade rumors being the reason.
"Let me say this, I'm a huge Aaron Rodgers fan," Joe Horn told ESPN. "But last night when I saw that he was not happy with Green Bay ... when I saw nothing at all was talked about my son, it kind of upset me, and I was disappointed."
The elder Horn, who never played college football at a four-year school, woke up this morning with a set of expectations that were not met.
"I was expecting everybody to be saying, 'Look, nobody thought Jaycee Horn was going to go top 10. Nobody expected he was going to be the first defensive player off the board.' I thought it would be given a little more attention, and there was none. It was very disappointing as a father'," the 12-year NFL veteran said.
Horn noted Jaycee didn't know he was even upset and added he was "happy" the Panthers drafted his son.
Jaycee Horn was a standout cornerback at South Carolina. In 2020, he played in seven games for the Gamecocks. He had 16 total tackles and two interceptions – the only two of his collegiate career.

Lily Allen flashes her toned abs as she goes shopping with daughter Ethel in Manhattan | Daily
She's been proudly showcasing her figure on Instagram over the past few months, after noticing a change in her physique after giving up alcohol .
And Lily Allen flashed a glimpse of her toned abs on Saturday as she joined daughter Ethel, nine, for a shopping trip in Manhattan, New York.
The singer, 35, looked amazing in a cropped grey jumper teamed with taupe leggings as she made her way around the streets with her eldest child.
Lily teamed her sporty look with black trainers, while storing her essentials in a black quilted Chanel bag, which was partially open.
She wore her raven tresses loose for the occasion and shielded her eyes with a trendy pair of dark shades.
The Smile hitmaker appeared in a chilled mood as she held onto her daughter's hand as they crossed a road.
Lily's outing comes after she enjoyed a three-day road trip from Georgia to New York with her daughters Ethel and Marnie, eight, and her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, 46.
Flashes of Red Amp Up a Gray-Toned Harlem Townhouse | Delia Kenza
The success of an interior design project often relies as much on diplomacy as it does on creative inspiration. Take this Harlem brownstone, home to a couple and their teenage daughter (their other two daughters have already flown the nest). One spouse prefers things minimal; the other is a fan of color (especially red) and pattern. They also have a strong art collection reflecting their North African and Costa Rican backgrounds. And the final result needed to accommodate extended family who, under nonpandemic circumstances, would come over for meals and longer stays. Easy, right?
“Some designers say they’re more like a dictator. I’m more like a democracy, where I tell people, ‘We can vote on this,’” explains Kenza. “I try to work very much from a collaborative place with the client.”
Kenza built on this extra breathing room with her deft decorative touch. A fan of tone-on-tone color schemes with a touch of prints, she employed a continuum of gray throughout the home, broken up with pops of red and pattern to suit the spouse who prefers a dash of maximalism.
The garden level has lower ceilings and a naturally darker feel. Instead of fighting those elements, Kenza created a dining room that feels like a moody cocoon. Textures abound on the neutral walls—one covered in grooved tiles, the other constructed of geometric bamboo panels—and are offset by an expressive artwork by the Costa Rican painter Rafa Fernandez. To accommodate family get-togethers, the dining table expands to seat up to 14 guests, and the remainder of the ground floor handily features a warming kitchen and a guest bedroom and bathroom.
Ultimately, the finished home reflects the clients’ desires even more than it does Kenza’s innate aesthetics, which is her overarching goal.
“It’s not about what’s on trend or what somebody else says looks nice,” she says. “I feel good when I walk away and think, This is my client.”
