Here Are All The New Emojis Expected For 2016… *YAY

Or maybe you want to describe your new “clean eating” regime and the only image you can think of that properly gets it right, is the righteous (and insanely fashionable) avocado – and yet all you find yourself flicking between is the random bowl of soup and the tomato…

Some of the new smilies include a disembodied selfie-taking arm, the personification of ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and a terrifying clown that we can only hope doesn’t make it through to the official emoji line-ups.

Set to be part of the Unicode 9 update, the revamped emoji line-up is expected to rollout next summer, so the wait for the scooter and handshake emoji continues – sad face.

Meanwhile, experts at Emojipedia have already mocked up what the emojis might look like.

The bride has been without her man for far too long. Of course, he can be used in other contexts – hence the name that describes his clothing, rather than simply calling him “groom”.

The last update saw faces with a greater range of skin tones, extra spots emoji and also the highly anticipated taco.

Several others will be added to the animal kingdom, such as fox or duck, along with plenty more to color your chats if plain text just won’t do anymore. Still no lion.

Emojis for the emos – a wilting rose and a black heart.

These aren’t yet candidates but there is a high chance of them making the list late on… no mock-ups for them yet either. Apart from this, the Unicode 9 for 2016 may include a butterfly, deer, gorilla, lizard, Rhinoceros, leg, sneezing face, baguette bread, green salad, stuff flatbread, shallow pan of food, tumbler grass, drum with drumsticks, shopping trolley and spoon.
