The Unicode Consortium has released a preview of some emojis for use on iPhone and other devices 2025first as a beta version and then as a final version of the future operating system.
The new pictograms arriving include: a Distorted smiley face,I’killer whaleone treasure chest, various dancers and “furry creatures” inspired by big feet.
The Unicode Consortium’s Emoji Standards and Research Working Group is responsible for creating and managing new emoji, or “pictograms,” included in iOS, macOS and Windows, Android and other operating systems.
Thousands of emojis available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and other devices are one of countless ways to add personality to every message.
Every year, the Unicode Consortium proposes a new set of emojis or changes to existing emojis to the Unicode Technical Committee. According to Emojipedia, a total of 164 new symbols were proposed in November. From a document released by the working group, nine symbols have emerged that reveal some of the upcoming innovations. In addition to the above mentioned, we also have: 1. “War Cloud” (This is usually seen in comics when two or more characters fight each other), a dancer (Supports different skin colors), trombone and a brakes.
Emojipedia recalled that Samsung, Facebook and WhatsApp currently support a single color variation of emoji character skin; Microsoft and Twitter (X) previously supported a subset of characters with different skin colors, but have now removed them.
If all goes according to plan, the Emoji 17.0 standard will be approved in September 2025.
