I find most of the new emoji useless and just plain dumb but those head shaking ones are pathetic.
It's so derpy, I really hope it gets released like that because I would use it all the time
And once again, the need for an assortment of sarcastic emojis is recklessly overlooked.
I’m so glad they’ve come up with new emoji. They obviously put tremendous thought into filling the soul-crushing gaps people have encountered when texting. The 4,000,000 emotes that already exist are so constraining.
A quick wikipedia check says there are 1424 emoji code points and 1072 hieroglyph code points.
I'm glad I looked though because I didn't realize there was a hieroglyph unicode page:

Now I need to find a font that supports the OG emoji!
I'm not questioning the good looking of that phoenix... but if for you it looks like a chicken, you have never seen a chicken in your life ! 😄
Phoenix lookin like a rubber chicken
I’m still waiting for person pulling hair out of their head. I would use this all the time when dealing with family and their technology.
It looks like the Pokémon Moltres, original color scheme for Pokémon Yellow😅😅
Coz Apple got the memo from Macrumors to stop working on emojis and spend time on R&D.
Back to high school or middle school.
It's a shame they can't separate emoji packs from iOS that way older devices can still get the latest emoji updates instead of a little square. 
Third-party apps have no trouble with this, they can update their emojis anytime they want but it may not be available to the keyboard but thru another menu.

Oh yes, we get a phoenix because that's something used every day in modern society /s. Meanwhile "chef's kiss" is still MIA, and such a good candidate because it convey's so much in so many situations!
You know Apple doesn't pick the new emojis?
In light of the recent court case where 👍was interpreted as agreement to a contract when the recipient claims to have meant "I've received your offer" we need a "message received" emoji. Like on the radio when they reply 'Roger' to mean I heard and understand you, and only that. Control 6 in ASCII was ACK, What would an ACK emoji look like?
The emoji stuff is part of a new unicode release, so it's not just graphics but also code. Third parties which display newer emoji do so by shipping their own unicode libraries and text renderers.It's a shame they can't separate emoji packs from iOS that way older devices can still get the latest emoji updates instead of a little square.

But also, Apple is fine if a few little squares convince people to upgrade their OS/phone.
