Today is World Emoji Day, and the Unicode Consortium is sharing a preview of some of the new emoji that should hit your devices early next year as part of Unicode 17.0. If you ask me, it’s a promising batch, especially the Bigfoot emoji — sorry, “hairy creature.â€
The list includes these emoji, according to the Consortium:
- Apple core
- Ballet dancers
- Distorted Face
- Fight cloud
- Hairy creature
- Orca
- Treasure chest
- Trombone
I can think of some great uses of all of them – I feel like this is going to be a popular set. They’ll “likely†show up on devices in the spring of 2026, Unicode’s Erik Thompson says in an email. Yes, that’s a long ways away, but the process of making an emoji is actually pretty involved, as I’ve written about.
As part of World Emoji Day, Apple has also launched a new emoji word game that’s available with an Apple News Plus subscription. And Emojipedia has relaunched the EmojiTracker.com website to track real-time emoji use.
