Your prayers have been answered. The supreme rulers at Unicode (the organization that writes the codes that become emojis) have spoken. Unicode announced Wednesday that it's created the code behind a bunch of new emojis. Here's what you can look forward to:
- Bottle with popping cork
- Burrito
- Cheese wedge
- Hot dog
- Popcorn
- Taco
- Turkey
- Unicorn face
- Badminton racquet
- Cricket bat and ball
- Field hockey stick and ball
- Ice hockey stick and puck
- Table tennis paddle and ball
- Volleyball
- Upside-down face
- Face with rolling eyes
- Zipper-mouth face
- Money-mouth face
- Face with thermometer
- Nerd face
- Thinking face
- Face with head bandage
- Robot face
- Hugging face
- Sign of the horns
- Amphora
- Crab
- Bow and arrow
- Lion face
- Scorpion
- Prayer beads
- Kaaba
- Mosque
- Synagogue
- Menorah with nine branches
- Place of worship
Cheese? Taco? Unicorn? ROLLING EYES? We're in heaven!
We'll likely have to wait a while, though. Unicode writing the code for an emoji is just the first step. Then Apple, Microsoft and Google have to create the images to go with the code -- and it's up to them which ones they create. Just because Unicode made it possible for you to have a cheese emoji, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get one.
But keep praying and keep making lists on which emojis you want. Unicode is obviously listening!
