Hi Folks!

The Power and Responsibility of Unicode Adoption
Emoji have a rich history, and a recent resurgence in Western culture. However, as social networks feverishly try and clamber into this bandwagon, their implementations create issues with miscommunication. From the technical to the social aspects, this talk will cover why the extended character set provided by Unicode needs to be treated with responsibility by users and platforms alike.
Announcements + News
