7 new emoji coming to iPhone, iPad and Mac include eye bags, fingerprint, etc.
The Unicode Consortium unveiled seven new emoji characters that will be coming to iPhones, iPads, Macs and other platforms in late 2024 or early 2025.
According to the Unicode website, the organization is considering the following new emoji candidates: a face with bags under the eyes, a fingerprint, a harp, a shovel, a splatter, a leafless tree, and a root vegetable.
There will also be new skin-tone variants, but they weren’t shown at post time. Other possible additions might include new family emoji combinations.
“Scheduled for release in late 2024, any provisional candidate that is approved for final release would come to major platforms in 2025,” writes Emojipedia.
The new emoji characters coming to iPhone, iPad and Mac
The upcoming Unicode 16 standard will include new emoji characters, with the specification just drafted. Proposals will be considered and tested until July 2. A final specification will then be available to device makers.
Companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and others will then draw and implement these new characters in their brand style.
iOS 17.4 brought the new Unicode 15.1 emoji
Apple has usually released new emoji with mid-cycle updates. For example, Apple released iOS 17.4 in March 2024 with several new emoji which the Unicode Consortium had approved six months earlier in September 2023.
iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4 and macOS 14.4 included a pair of new shaking head emoji to express approval or disapproval. The updates included other then-new emoji: a phoenix rising from the ashes, a broken chain, an edible brown mushroom and lime.
It also brought the new family combinations from Unicode 15.1: adult, adult, child; adult, child, child; adult, child; and adult, adult, child, child.
