On World AIDS Day, Condom Maker Calls for Safe-Sex Emoji
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
Time for an official safe-sex emoji?
Condom maker Durex says so and is presenting a formal submission on Wednesday, World AIDS Day, to get coding consortium Unicode to adopt one.
In the run-up to the day – designed to unite people around the world in the fight against HIV/AIDS – Durex launched a social media campaign last month “to create the first official safe-sex emoji”, asking users to use #condomemoji.
In an age of smartphones and tablets, emoticons, the small icons that are used to express emotions or physical things, are “crucial” to how young couples communicate, Durex said.
