Pickup truck emoticon turns out that Ford…

July 17th is the unofficial World Emoticon Day set by Emojipedia. However, it is said that Ford, an automobile manufacturer, secretly created a pickup truck emoji.

Ford said it had hired marketing companies and agencies to apply for the emoji to the Unicode Consortium, but did not inform the Unicode Consortium. Next year, Ford-sponsored pickup truck emojis will appear on smartphones and computers worldwide. How about a company that controls keyboard symbols?

The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 that is responsible for ensuring that text and symbols are displayed correctly on devices and in various types of software. In addition, they pioneered an open way to properly suggest emoticons.

If the Unicode Consortium approves the pickup truck emoji, Ford will set another success story as a marketing agency or digital strategist. Unfortunately, Ford kept it secret that he was involved in designing this emoji to submission.

In fact, the emoji committee within the Unicode Consortium said that when the emoji were submitted, they didn’t even know that Ford was behind. The reason is that all submissions were made online, there was no Ford logo on the emoji, and there was no mention of Ford at all.

Of course, Ford has now surfaced the fact that they were behind. The actor was used as a narrator to make a video to reveal the difficulty of making emoticons. Clay modeling and wind tunnel experiments, as if designing a normal car. However, if you look at the full-size emoji, you can see that it resembles a Ford Ranger.

In any case, knowing that Ford has funded the creation of this emoji might give you some suspicious impression. However, last year Taco Bell used taco emojis, and Nestlé also showed KitKat emojis. Of course, the difference between them and Ford is that they posted a press release to my Unicode consortium about their existence. Ford just didn’t.

These truck emojis may not be available, but now, even the little fun you can feel on your smartphone, nothing innocent may be lost in the 21st century. Related information can be found here .
