Here's what you may have missed this week in social media and tech:

• Google Wants To Control Every Character You Type - Imagine a typeface that unites all the world’s languages. A publisher could print a book in Arabic, Cherokee, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and more—all without swapping out fonts. That’s what Google is attempting to accomplish with Google Noto, a free font family that currently supports 96 languages, and aspires to support them all.
• Kuddle, An Instagram With Training Wheels, Introduces Social Media To Kids - A new mobile application called Kuddle is introducing a safer way for kids to get introduced to social media, while still under a parent’s watchful eye.

• PayPal Wants You To Never Pull Out Your Credit Card Again; One Touch Payments is Coming - Crucially, the family of One Touch-enabled apps include PayPal's own mobile app, used by millions of users, most of whom have a credit or debit card stored with the service.

The new offering would launch in November, according to the report.

• University of Michigan Researches Developing Wearables to Detect Diseases - U-M researchers, working in conjunction with the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps program, are developing a wearable sensor that could provide continuous disease monitoring of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia or lung disease. The sensor, which is about the size of a finger nail, detects airborne chemicals either exhaled or released through the skin. It can be worn as a wired device.
