2024 Emoji Could Include Shaking Head, Brown Mushroom, Phoenix, Lime and More

First a blue iPhone 15, and now new emojis. What wondrous times we live in. How beauteous mankind is! Oh brave new world, that has such people in it.

While I wait for release, I shall play some Centrifugal Bumble-puppy.

Can we get an emoji for a no click zero day exploit already?

We totally want the graphics artists designing emoji to be responsible for security audits/patching.

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?

There isn't one/won't be one. Gestures and body movements have cultural interpretation.

Thumbs up in some culture someplace is likely is the same as the middle finger in western culture. Head nodding means "I am still listening" in some cultures, even if they are very much opposed to what you are saying.

“Head shaking vertically”

…. You mean “nodding” ?

nodding while sleeping, apparently.

Meanwhile "chef's kiss" is still MIA

😘🤌 is as close as we have

 

[Lcgiv]

Oh boy, more things I won’t ever use…

By the time Apple the Unicode Consortium is finished, there will be an emoji for everything, and we will be back to using hieroglyphics.:

FTFY. Apple is one of the members of the Unicode Consortium, to be sure, but the reason Apple adds new Unicode characters (like Emoji) to iOS/iPadOS/macOS is because the Unicode Consortium has added them to the official standard, and Apple is obliged to support the standard.

I wouldn't mind if we had several hundred fewer emoji - it got way out of hand a long time ago. (Hell, I was happy enough with "(-:"-style ASCII Emoticons). But the solution to "no more emoji" is to talk to the Unicode Consortium.

Could be headbanging.

The emoji listed by Emojipedia are proposed and are under consideration, but many emoji at this stage are approved and make it into official emoji releases.

What?

I totally agree with this. There’s already too many of them and most of them are useless. Adding more will make it even harder to find the right emoji while typing than it already is. They really need to remove some of them instead of adding more.

 

[svish]

Good to see the first look at the new emojis!!

 

[symphony]

I started to use emojis as tags or glyphs symbols for headings in my notes to identify my notes when scrolling really fast. So I hope they introduce more symbols and objects too

I disagree. What they should do is let you pin emojis that a user can choose to reserve.

 

[Arran]

Wow, that's a pretty pathetic looking phoenix; looks like a chicken with it's a$s on fire.

🎸🎸Nashville Hot Chicken! 🎶

 

[lysingur]

This is a phoenix. Whatever TF Apple has there is anything but.

Anyone know where I can take a class to become an expert level emoji user?

If anyone would have it UC Berkley would.

 

[Wildkraut]

Coz Apple got the memo from Macrumors to stop working on emojis and spend time on R&D.

That explains the rapid security response (a) f’up, with graphic designers working on code.

Or simply allow users to pin them on the recent list/page.

 

[Born Again]

Wasn’t there an Apple exec that said something along the lines “can’t innovate my ass!”

Is this what he meant?

 

[flofixer]

Still bereft of most gardening equipment: no push lawnmower, no ride-on lawnmower, no shears, no loppers, no secateurs, no rake, no hoe, no shovel, no spade, no garden fork, no hand fork, no hand trowel, no watering can, no wheelbarrow, no water hose, and on and on.

Yeah. Makes is hard to text my gardener

 

[testcard]

Finally, a brown mushroom. What a time to be alive!

 

[matsan]

And as always - still no white wine emoji.

 

[Cunir]

You could probably have an entire conversation in emojis now, there are so many

 

[nottorp]

They had much better emojis in ancient Egypt.

Is this a conspiracy to wean people off reading text completely?

 

[SoldOnApple]

Shake and nodding head, yes please.
