" summary

Live session shows the creation and rollout story of a dumpling emoji: designed in Adobe Illustrator, launched via a Kickstarter to raise awareness, submitted to the Unicode process and gaining Unicode approval so the dumpling and three companion food icons land on phones in November 2017. Workshop format has people sketch tiny‑chaos dumplings on post‑its, upload to Slack, and get turned into animated GIFs, stickers and letterpress prints — community pieces that demonstrably ship and get used.
