Could you design an emoji? 😋

Could YOU design (طرح کردن) an emoji (شکلک ها)?  > 🐻 ⏰ ⚽ 🌞
Rayouf is a young girl. She lives in Berlin, Germany. She is a Muslim. She likes to use (استفاده کنید) the internet.  She and her friends like to use emojis (شکلک) when they send (ارسال داشتن) messages on their phones. But Rayouf cannot find an emoji that looks like her because she wears (پوشیدن) a headscarf. 



 
      Every year emojis are changing (تغییر دادن) to look like the people who use them. For example, emojis now have different (مختلف)  skin and hair colors. There are emojis that show men and women doing different jobs. So Rayouf didn't know why there was not an emoji wearing (پوشیدن) a headscarf, since so many women wear headscarves. She sent her idea to the organization (سازمان) that makes new emojis.      

     It's not easy (ساده) to get a new emoji approved (تصویب کردن). It takes a lot of time. Rayouf didn't know where to start. She wrote a letter to Apple, the company that makes iPhones and iPads. But Apple did not answer. Then Rayouf found a video online. It explained (توضیح دادن) that anyone can ask for a new emoji. The video showed her how to get started. Her emoji may be approved next November. It could be online by next year.
 
For Rayouf, and lots of teenagers, emojis are important. They are a big part of how teens talk and share feelings (احساس) with their friends. "It's the new language," Rayouf says. And it is very popular all over the world!
