Today is World Emoji Day, a wonderfully made-up observance to celebrate the tiny glyphs we’ve all come to use to replace emotion and depth in much of our communication. In a rare act of levity, Apple decided to mark the day (July 17) by changing the photos on its leadership team page to custom-designed “Memoji”—new cartoony avatars that anyone can create in iOS 12, the forthcoming version of its mobile operating system.

The small act of fun also provides a rather stark reminder of just how white—and predominantly male—the executive leadership at the US’s most profitable company is. There are only two women—general counsel and senior vice president Katherine Adams and head of retail Angela Ahrendts—on the executive team.
