117 new emoji's are coming soon.
Emoji's have become an integral part of our digital communication, and soon we'll have 117 new characters and images to play with!
The Unicode Consortium announced the new additions to the emoji world for 2020, and there are some brilliant and also strange ones in there.
The transgender flag, a woman in a tuxedo, and a gender-neutral alternative to Santa Claus are just a few.
While users can also find a cockroach, a smiling-crying face and pinched fingers.
You can check out all the additions in the video below:
The website Emojipedia, which is part of the Unicode Consortium and details icons found in updates, said: “Announced today by the Unicode Consortium, the 117 new emojis form part of Emoji 13.0 and will come to most platforms in the second half of 2020.
“Variations of existing emojis now approved for 2020 include a woman or gender-inclusive person in a tuxedo, as well as a gender-neutral person or a man in a veil. These, along with other approved emojis, will be coming to phones later this year.
“Also included in this update is a gender-inclusive alternative to Santa Claus and Mrs Claus, named Mx Claus. This addition is part of an ongoing effort to make more consistent set of gender options across the board, and expands upon the 138 new gender-neutral emojis added in late 2019 as part of Emoji 12.1.”
