A new set of 157 emojis are set to be released this year. The emoji 11.0 set from The Unicode Consortium will join the 2,666 other emojis that exist, scheduled for release in June. The emojis sport a range of new hairstyles, including red-haired, curly-haired, white-haired and bald-headed. Others include a shivering and sweating face, male and female superheros and villains, as well as a lab coat, kangaroo and mango. Although there are only 77 new emojis, some of them have more than one skin tone option, leading to a total of 157 new emoji versions. Jeremy Burge, who runs Emojipedia, shared sample images of every new emoji in an iOS style to give people an idea of what they’ll look like. The new emoji set includes the data needed for software developers to work on their emoji fonts and code. Some updates include new skin tone options for the leg and foot emoji, as well as a range of hairstyle and skin-tone options. The new emojis will also include party, woozy* and pleading faces. Other new emojis include activities such as softball, frisbee, sewing, chess and lacrosse*. Animals lovers will enjoy the new llama*, raccoon, lobster, hippopotamus* and parrot emojis. Science aficionados will delight at the sight of the new test-tube, petri dish*, microbe* and infinity* emoji. The new list also includes a pirate flag, red packet envelope and household items (sponge, broom and toilet roll). Foodies wont be disappointed either, with the emoji set release including a mooncake, cupcake and lettuce.(SD-Agencies) |
