ABOUT THIS EPISODE
There are many ways to preserve language. We trace the story of Australia’s first Indigenous emoji project, which is bringing Indigenous culture and the Arrernte language onto your smartphone. In the process we encounter emoji’s bosses and find out why it is so hard to add a new emoji to the set.
