Summary

A major British building society is pushing for new emojis to better represent the pound, arguing that with money being such a big part of daily life, we’re missing key digital symbols. Skipton has designed a suite of concepts — from a pound coin to a “money on the mind” emoji — and submitted them to the Unicode Consortium. Led by head Jazz Gakhal, the push highlights how emojis are now essential to communication, especially when it comes to the often-taboo topic of money.
