T-Rex, Vampire, Crazy Face, Zombie, Giraffe, and Pie Among Emoji Included in New Unicode 10 Standard

At what point do we have too many emoji tho?

When we had emoji

I like the "cooking man/woman" emoji. Apple introduces ambiguity to the meaning of this emoji. The rest of the platforms where it's a steam room emoji.

Eh, well, we Americans mostly don't know what a steam room is.

Great! With so many emojis we'll soon start writing like our ancestors but our pyramids will look much funnier!

I DEMAND A FIDGET SPINNER EMOJI!!!1!
[doublepost=1498016469][/doublepost]I expect its the emoji for breastfeeding. A sport not previously represented. It's difficult to do a 16 pixel square picture that unambiguously gets the point across without also upsetting someone somewhere for its "graphic" nature.

Wait... breast feeding is now a sport?

I thought it was a pirate having a hot shower

It can be more exhausting than running according to my wife so I guess we can consider it a sport

The last time I looked I wasn't 12.

Those dinosaurs remind me of the infamous Dingo Pictures cartoon.

It's a post about emojis - what were you expecting? A lengthy discourse on advances in kerning? Discussion of what Pantone colors would work best for the emojis?

Emojis aren't the end of the world, and most of this forum needs to seriously grow up.

Human evolution has obviously peaked.

This is like all the new Pokémon generations. Why do all of these need to exist? It was fun back when it first got really popular, and there was a small set to choose from, and they were all iconic. Now you might as well just send a PNG of whatever object you want.

I wonder when they will rewrite the Bible - will they put emoji icons there too? you know... icons... emoji icons...
Give us a Jesus emoji - maybe more - baby Jesus, crucified Jesus...
Give us emojis for a.s wiping and everything. Maybe one day we will just put sentences that are emojis.

What is wrong with this world? Since when emoji becomes a headline????

Maybe I am too old... but emoji???? seriously....

 

[JamesSinger94]

Finally an emoji update that is worthwhile... The Scottish flag is finally included!!!

Also good to see Wales and England too.

 

[djcerla]

Basically Unicode just predicted an England/Scotland split.

 

[CTHarrryH]

This is front page Macrumors news? Shouldn't be surprised since more people care about what icons look like than what the phone actually does.

 

[Stig McNasty]

I was really impressed that the powers-that-be had fully recognised the importance of Marc Bolan through his band of top-notch glam rockers: T-Rex. Now bitterly disappointed, but at least I ain't no square…

 

[kemal]

Time to petition for a "where's my modular Mac Pro?" emoji.

 

[simonmet]

It's nice to have the Welsh flag at last

Surprised it's not there already/taken so long.

They already have Jersey, Guernsey and the Ise of Man!

 

[revjoel]

Is it just me or does it seem completely sad that our society has fallen so far that we now have to have a consortium to discuss and approve emojis?

 

[simonmet]

As long as you can edit your emoji space. I only use a few. This is because I'm older than 9 and have a functioning brain.
(BTW, I'm sure there's an emoji for this condition)

 

[Royksöpp]

These will look so good on the emoji bar!

 

[curtvaughan]

This is sort of like the evolution of the alphabet, but in reverse:

I thought it was a pirate having a hot shower

I thought they were shower emojis too, based on the samples in the OP.

 

[Col4bin]

And the hits keep on coming!

Whenever there's a topic with emoji, the forum tends to go into "get off my lawn!" Mode.
