Microsoft to release middle finger emoji; may create a controversy for Windows 10

The world may question your manners, if you show your middle finger. However, Microsoft has dared to add the middle finger emoticon to its Windows 10 update. 

The middle finger emoticon appears in different skin tones which includes six different shades of brown. However, the default colour for the middle finger emoji is 'gray'.

Surprisingly, the middle finger emoji had been approved as part of Unicode 7 in mid-2014, yet has curiously remained absent from iOS, OS X, Android, and Windows. The tech giant has also rolled out new emoticons such as relieved smiley, screaming face and flushed face. As reported Emojipedia, many human emojis in Windows use the bald-man (?) character, avoids the issue of hair color as well. 

There’s a high possibility that Microsoft may land up in a big controversy, due to its new middle finger emoji. This in a way gives out a message that Microsoft is OK with the fact of individuals insulting each other, using this emoji.
