Yesterday, in an announcement post, the Unicode Consortium unveiled the latest version of its standard--with 7 brand-new emojis along with 156 new variants for existing emojis. The new batch of emojis recommended for inclusion in standard emoji keyboards include: a "distorted face," a "fight cloud" as seen in comics and cartoons, an "orca" or "killer whale", a "hairy creature" reminiscent of Bigfoot, a "trombone," a "landslide," and a "treasure chest." On top of these brand-new emojis, the remaining emoji changes include gender-neutral ballet dancers in different skin tones, as well as more skin tone variants for existing codes like the "people with bunny ears" and "people wrestling" emojis.
