New Emojis: Bigfoot, Orca, Treasure Chest & More!

New Emojis on the Horizon

The Unicode Consortium has announced the upcoming additions to the emoji collection, set to arrive on devices in the coming year.

A non-profit organization is responsible for establishing standardized language across a diverse range of devices and manufacturers. This ensures consistent emoji display – a flamenco dancer sent from an iPhone will appear identically on an Android phone.

Introducing the New Emojis

The latest additions include a variety of new symbols. These encompass a trombone, a treasure chest, a face with bulging eyes, a fight cloud, an apple core, an orca whale, a gender-neutral ballet dancer, a landslide, and even Bigfoot.

These new emojis provide greater expressive capabilities. Users will be able to depict a wider array of scenarios and feelings in their digital communications.

Expanding Expressive Possibilities

The new set allows for the illustration of increasingly unique situations. Imagine conveying a moment where a mountain trek leads to unearthed treasure, prompting astonishment as orcas breach nearby, all while ballerinas perform to the sound of a trombone – after enjoying a crisp red apple!

Enhanced Inclusivity

Further improvements are being made to existing emojis. The next release will incorporate expanded skin tone options for multi-person emojis.

This includes emojis depicting groups of people, such as those wearing bunny ears or engaged in wrestling, offering greater representation and personalization.

Unicode continues to refine and expand the emoji landscape, ensuring a richer and more inclusive digital communication experience.
