Emoji 15.1 consists of head shakes and a phoenix

There are new emoji on the way in which… finally. As reported by Emojipedia, the Unicode Consortium has formally authorised Emoji 15.1, that means a batch of recent emoji will seem in your units in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.

There aren’t fairly as many additions to the emoji lineup as there have been in earlier releases. The model new emoji are a head shaking horizontally, a head shaking vertically, a phoenix, a lime, a brown mushroom, and a damaged chain, in response to Emojipedia. There are additionally new emoji denoting completely different household sizes and some variations of emoji you is perhaps accustomed to that can face completely different instructions.

I’m personally very excited to see how a few of these present up throughout the web; I think about the phoenix will likely be a very fashionable one. However sadly, it typically takes months for firms like Apple and Microsoft to construct assist for the brand new emoji into their software program, so that you is perhaps ready awhile to have the ability to drop a lime emoji in your associates.

For those who really feel like an emoji is lacking from the present lineup, you possibly can submit a proposal for one your self. (I chronicled my course of making the waffle and yawning face emoji in a 2019 story for The Verge.) Right here’s the Unicode Consortium’s tips on the right way to submit your proposal. Submissions will reopen in April 2024.
