The survey also found that the majority of emoji users believe that the characters are an important communication tool for creating unity, respect and understanding of one another.
As far as solutions, 78% of respondents said they believed more customization options could address gaps in emoji inclusion. Those options could include other hair styles and colors, accessories, body type, and eye color options.
