Hundreds of new emojis are coming with Apple’s iOS 11.1. The full set of new emojis includes more smiley faces, gender-neutral* characters, new clothing options like a trench coat and a head scarf, and fun mystical creatures. The emoji set also includes new flags for England, Scotland and Wales, which may be a hit with sports fans. The mystical creatures set will appeal to the more bookish among us, containing characters from fantasy such as mermaids and mermen, fairies, vampires and mages. The new emoji set will also include additional animals: hedgehogs, giraffes, crickets, dinosaurs and more. For foodies*, there will be new food emojis, including apple pie, dumplings, broccoli and a takeout box. Together, the 56 new emojis bring the total number available to 239. The new Apple emojis follow Unicode Consortium’s release of version 10.0.0 late in June, which included everything from fairies and a pretzel* to a woman in a steamy shower.(SD-Agencies) |
