Chinese food emoji proposed by me and Yiying Lu
By Jennifer 8. Lee | January 30, 2016
Yiying Lu and I proposed a slate of Chinese food-related emoji, including takeout box, dumpling, fortune cookie and chopsticks. To be sure, the fortune cookie and takeout box emoji are actually more American in symbols than Chinese.
This all started when Yiying Lu and I were puzzled by lack of a dumpling emoji, decided to do something about it — then others kind of rolled in. Lots of coverage, including Eater, Mic, Buzzfeed.
If I am honest, I don’t think fortune cookie would have made it on its own merits, but it can ride the coat-tails of the others.
