In total, just over thirty new emojis will be integrated into your smartphone by the end of this year.
On the occasion of World Emoji Day which will take place this Sunday, July 17, Emojipedia has unveiled the list of candidate emojis that will most likely be added to Unicode 15.0 and unveiled a sketch of what they should look like.
Scheduled to be definitively validated in the course of next September, the new emojis which should be integrated on Android smartphones and iPhones are 31 in number. The site specifies, however, that even if the list presented can still change from here As of September, most emojis featured are expected to be approved by the Unicode Consortium. Their deployment should start from the end of this year and should run until 2023.
Among the emojis of this 2022-2023 vintage, we find a face that says no, pink, gray and cyan hearts, a left hand and a right hand that grow back, available in all skin tones. New animals are also appearing. You can thus illustrate your conversations by adding a moose, a donkey, a black bird, a goose, or even a jellyfish. For the rest, the list includes a wing, a hyacinth, ginger, peas in their pods, a fan, a comb, maracas, a transverse flute, the Khanda (religious symbol of Sikhism), as well as an emoji Wireless.
Of course, the representation of the emojis presented by Emojipedia may vary depending on the device, each manufacturer offering its own style of emojis. Compared to previous years, the list of Emojis 15.0 for 2022 is quite thin. In 2020, the Emojis 13.0 and 13.1 lists released nine months apart included 117 and 217 emojis, respectively, while in 2021, 112 new emojis joined users’ keyboards. With only 31 new emojis in 2022, the consortium validates its lowest number of emojis this year.
What about the deployment schedule? After the validation of emojis by Unicode next September, Emojipedia estimates that Android smartphone users, and more particularly Pixel owners, will be served between October and December 2022. Apple, Samsung and certain social networks such as Facebook and Twitter should follow suit. from January 2023 until October next year.
