The Unicode Consortium has confirmed its next slate of emojis, coming in the next year to eager thumbs near you. This nonprofit organization creates standardized language across devices from a wide range of hardware makers. That is why if you send your friend a flamenco dancer emoji from your iPhone, they will be able to see that suave dancer in a red dress on their Android. That same organization gets the final say on what new emojis come to your device.
The new emojis include a trombone, a treasure chest, a bulging-eyes face, a fight cloud, an apple core, an orca whale, a gender-neutral ballet dancer, a landslide, and Bigfoot.
Now you can illustrate even the most bizarre of situations. We have all had that very relatable moment when you are taking a long trek up a mountain and suddenly, you find a buried treasure, at which your eyes bulge out and you suddenly notice a clearing where orcas are jumping in the distance, while ballerinas dance to trombone music. Also, you have just eaten a red apple.
The next group of emojis will also support various skin tone options for emojis that show more than one person, like the emojis of people with bunny ears dancing and people wrestling.
