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

So happy they can work on new emojis after they singlehandedly solved the gun violence epidemic with the stunning, brave change of a pistol to a water gun. 🔫

I saw that the other day. It was weird. Very weird.

Do we have ashes emoji? Then the Phoenix one can be quite fun.

Just make it stop

Emojis. Peak of modern communication.

That is not how I picture a phoenix... 🤣

How would they look?

If I had emojis to show you, I would.

WOW
Fantastic Great innovation Apple.
How much, $1000?
Great

BIG EYE ROLL HERE ....without emoji. Angry face here, without emoji

Or alternatively:

򪪪 here, without Apple supporting emoji standards

Well I guess that kinda works too. There’s already a section for the “recently used” emojis, but pinning the most used ones sounds like a much better idea.

Still, that doesn’t really solve the issue of “too many emojis, most of them are useless”. Like out of all those 1400+ emojis that already exist, how many of them do you actually use every day ?
And let’s say you wanna pin a new emoji, it’ll still be hard to find in the first place, even when you use the search thingy, which doesn’t always give you the right one you’re looking for.

It depends. What I prefer might not be the same for everyone else.

I do use emojis to organize notes. So I want Apple or the emoji consortium to have more objects or symbols. They still need an iPad emoji.

All I wanted was the unicorn farting rainbows emoji. This shouldn’t be hard for a 3 trillion dollar company.

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

Apple? What do you mean?

 

[3xBoom]

Apple should allow users to create their own emojis with AI. Just tell it what emoji should demonstrate and use the one you like.

I agree about custom Emojis, but Unicode itself would have to be adapted to it. That isn't something Apple could do on their own.

Until I see a weed leaf emoji, I have zero respect.

Plenty of lea… wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute. You’re one of them thar long-haired hippies, aintcha??

Hmm, not sure I will use these new ones.

More squares on my MBP with Mojave 😬

This is what I expected... but I'm disappointed ... Apple.

why do we need a broken chain ? or really any of these ?

Unicode *can't* be adapted to it. It's a system for assigning numerical values to predefined symbols, so people and computers can all use the same number to refer to the same symbol.

What you're talking about would require some separate standard for controlling inline-graphics. The SVG standard can get you close-ish to this now.

We don't need any of them. We could have stopped about 1200 symbols ago. But people keep submitting proposals to the Unicode Consortium.

At my age, my feeling is that as long they don't get in the way of actual text communication then have fun.

Let's just add all Pokemon, including their special versions. The OG pixel art should work out fine for retina screens anyway.
