Grebet is a 22-year-old design student in Ivory Coast. Everywhere he looks, he sees signs of Western influence - from the shopping malls lining the streets in his home city to the way his classmates speak and dress. "We are living like we are Western people," he says. "It's like we are not proud of our own culture, " So he created emojis (表情符号) that show what he thinks is missing from global keyboard culture: symbols of history and daily life in Ivory Coast and neighboring countries.

In 2018, he released a free group of over 360 emojis in a mobile app called Zouzoukwa, which means "image" in the local language. Available on Android and iPhone, it now has over 120,000 downloads. It's more impressive than other emoji apps. The emojis show life and culture in Ivory Coast and the surrounding regions(地区), including traditional masks, African instruments and people dressed in a variety of prints and clothing that show regional heritage

Some of his favorite designs are a series of facial expressions commonly used in his region, but not available as a standard emoji. "They are expressions we often use in real life, but they were not represented on our phones," Grebet says. "The next step is to try and get some of my designs into the official emoji set, where they'd reach more than 2 billion people worldwide, as standardized symbols on smartphones everywhere,"
