Snapchat and Bitmoji are testing a set of stickers that feature Snapchatters’ avatars in a manual wheelchair.

Snap said in a blog post that it aims to create avatars that reflect and represent the diversity of its community, and it gathered feedback from members of that community in creating these designs, along with working closely with the company’s disability rights advisor.

They focused on details including the wheelchair’s arm guard, foot rest, seat fabric and position of the spokes.
