The latest emoji list drafted by the Unicode Consortium is due for formal approval today, with new emojis including a Goose<\/a>, a Hyacinth<\/a>, a Shaking Face<\/a>, and a plain Pink Heart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

These 11 sequences are ten new skin tone modifier sequences<\/a> - five each for the new Rightwards Pushing Hand<\/a> and Leftwards Pushing Hand<\/a> emojis - and one new zero width joiner (ZWJ)<\/a> sequence, namely, the new 🐦‍⬛ Black Bird<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

As it turns out, 73% of those polled thought people who used emojis are friendlier, funnier, and cooler than those who don’t. And 91% of respondents felt that emoji make it easier to express themselves — with 60% reporting that emojis have the ability to boost overall mental health.<\/p>\n

The character “ꙮ” (U+A66E) is being updated in version 15.0.0.<\/p>

Because it doesn’t have enough eyes. It needs to have three more eyes.<\/p>\n

I absolutely love that there’s a unicode character with a single documented use, and it wasn’t even correct.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
