On December 15, 2018, the Twitter account of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, USA states "I do not know if Apple is trying to attract attention to the ocean, but let me tell you, Apple squid's emoji is upside down "I posted it.


And above, I explained how Apple's squid pictograms are wrong.


According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it is said that an organ called "funnel" that puts out squid and excrement on the head of the squid is behind the head.



So what is on the front of the face, what is on the face like a nose between eyes and eyes is "What is it?" Since the squid needs propelling force by injecting sea water from the funnel, the funnel needs to be on the lower side of the body and excreta is coming out, so when it is on the upper side, the squid takes excretions on the face It will also be decided.



This is not the first time that pointing out on the accuracy of pictograms has been raised. In addition to being pointed out that there are only 6 legs in the Lobster emoji of the Unicode Consortium , in 2017, Google pointed out that "Cheeseburger's cheeses are in a wrong position" was pointed out, "Even if you throw other things "We corrected it promptly .

It was in 2016 that squid was added to Apple's emoticons, so the wrong emoji was used all over the world for two years. As pointed out, as it became a topic, Apple is considered to modify pictograms anyway. Overseas news media The Verge says that the aquarium is seeking comments on "why it took two years before this important issue got noticeable".

In addition, the Monterey Bay Aquarium pointed out that the Fugu Family is like a parody like "a person laughing while feeling horror" because it causes thorns when threatening opponents or angry.
