There shall be additional emoji available to you.
To be specific, 157 additional emoji.
The Unicode Consortium today announced it has finalized a new set of 157 emoji that companies like Apple will be able to implement later this year. There are actually 77 new emoji in total, as some have multiple skin tones.
Emoji 11.0 will include several new hairstyles and types, including male and female faces with red hair, curly hair, gray hair at a younger age, and no hair or baldness, along with hot and cold faces, and woozy and pleading faces.
Other notable new units include male and female superheroes, a face with a party hat, and emojis for well-known activities such as sewing, knitting, lacrosse, softball, frisbee, chess, and skateboarding.
New animals and insects include a kangaroo, parrot, peacock, swan, badger, llama, lobster, hippopotamus, raccoon, and mosquito.
Finally, other new units include a fire extinguisher, pirate flag, DNA strand, and an infinity symbol.
Emoji 11.0 will be part of the Unicode 11.0 standard and is expected to be released this June with the new emoji expected to appear on iOS devices around August or September alongside the release of iOS 12. The new emojis should extend to the Mac and Apple Watch at some point too.
Next up will be Emoji 12.0, part of the Unicode 12.0 standard, scheduled for release around March 2019. New guidelines in Emoji 12.0 will allow for emojis that currently face to the left or right only to face either direction.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
