Are you annoyed by any of the emojis that Apple does it offer in its systems as a supplement for classic text communication? Then you can try to fight it, just like 10-year-old tech fan Teddy from the UK is doing now. He is particularly annoyed by the nerd emoji - i.e. the yellow emoji with glasses and big crooked teeth - because, according to him, he can see himself in it to a certain extent. He also wears glasses, which makes him feel like himself Applem offended by this emoji. 

"I'm saddened by him, angry at him, and if I find it offensive, I'm pretty sure thousands of people around the world will find it offensive too"," the boy said in an interview with the BBC, which first brought his story to light along with the design of a new version of the nerdy emoji that Teddy created for inspiration. Applu. As for the petition itself, he was helped to create it by his class teacher, who believes that his efforts are remarkable and worth supporting. The petition currently only exists in paper form, but it should be launched online in the near future, and once it has a higher number of signatures, Teddy wants to send it to Applu with the hope that it will soften him up and make him change this emoticon. Whether this will happen we can only guess, however, considering that in the competing Android the nerd emoji is portrayed much more positively, which you can see in the gallery), it probably wouldn't be too surprising if iOS nerd nahonec was also amended to make it less controversial.
