New....Emojis...........!

New emoji for 2019 have been approved. Unicode and Emojipedia have revealed over 230 new emojis characters coming with the Unicode version 12.0.

New emojis include new hand gestures, a new yawning emoji, people in wheelchairs, an electric and manual wheelchair, kneeling person, interracial couples with varying skin tones and a blink person with a walking stick. There are even more emojis with disabilities like a prosthetic arm and a deaf person.

There are some new animals as well including a flamingo, service dogs, a skunk, sloth and otter. New food items include garlic, a juice box, a pearl in an oyster, and a stick of butter. There are also new items like a ballet shoe, snorkeling mask, one-piece swimsuit, and underwear briefs.

Some of the additions are decidedly... sillier. New animals include a sloth, a flamingo and an orangutan, while foodies will like presence of a waffle, a juice box and an onion. You'll also find a Hindu temple, a sari and a tuk-tuk among the other additions.

The emojis shown in the video were all created in the “glossy” Apple style which give us an idea of what we can expect them to look like when smartphones are updated to support the new symbols.

You'll have to wait a while to see them. Unicode says new emoji "typically" arrive in September and October, or right around when Apple and Google release their major OS updates. You might have to wait later still if your Android device maker doesn't provide updates right away. Still, these are welcome additions if you're looking for more ways to express yourself.
