Over 150 New Emojis Rolling Out This Year

You get an emoji! YOU get an emoji! EVERYBODY GETS AN EMOJIIIIIIII!

The Unicode Consortium  is the nonprofit that regulates the official set of emojis, and they just finalized the 157 new emojis set to roll out in the Summer or Fall of this year.

What can we expect?

Some new yellow faces, like a hot face, a cold face, and one that’s partying. We’ll have more hair options, like red hair, white hair, even bald options.

Other new emojis will include animals like a raccoon, swan, and a peacock; and bodily features like legs, feet, a tooth, a bone. Other random objects we’ll get are a skateboard, a teddy bear, toilet paper, and more.

Most anticipated new emojis, though…. The Superheroes and Supervillains (insert raised hands emoji).

Check out a sneak peak of the emojis here.
