Product:iOS Product Version:iOS 10 Beta 4 (14A5322e)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The new emojis for Information Desk Person are missing an element of sass. Although Information Desk Person is intended to be used to represent a person giving information at a help desk, it is commonly used to represent sassiness or sarcasm. I believe that the new emoji rolled out in this beta have lost that element and risk damaging its reputation and common use case.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Use Information Desk Person on iOS 9 and send to friend on iOS 10
- Friend on iOS 10 doesn't understand sarcasm or sassiness due to new emoji.

Expected Results:
Information Desk Person emoji should have more sass

Actual Results:
Information Desk Person emoji has significantly reduced levels of sass

Notes:
Emojipedia also notes the sassiness of the current emoji
