A new batch of emoji could be making its way to your iPhone or Android device next year; at least if a new candidate release from Unicode has anything to do with it.
Although the latest round of emojis – which includes a zebra, dinosaur and breastfeeding woman – are yet to be released, Unicode has confirmed that a new batch of icons would be pushed through as “draft candidates” for a release in Unicode 11, which will arrive sometime in 2018.
67 new icons have been proposed by the group, including a smiling face with a party hat and a streamer, a blue face with icicles, an ‘OK’ eyes emoji, and an inverted version of everyone’s favourite “poo” emoji, known as a frowning pile of poo.
While no inclusions have been finalised, here’s a look at the proposed new emoji.
