I'm afraid they can't do that, H9k.I really wish they would add a "what the heck are you talking about?" sort of emoji. Twitch has a great one here with one eye bugging out more than the other:
How else do you cut an avocado? Looks like the right way to me, just missing the other half.
you are right, imagine a world where we still use word commands to access info in computers instead of graphical interfaces...
Bacon... not that I eat it, but Bacon.
My burning question to Unicode is Where is the Picard Face Palm emoji.
My burning question to Unicode is Where is the Picard Face Palm emoji.
I have three problems with emoji's. 1. Find the one I want. 2. Find the one I want. 3. Find the one I want.
STILL no marijuana emoji's! At least there's Tommy Chong's SmokeEmoji's app...
The Unicode Consortium recently approved 72 new emoji for inclusion in Unicode 9, set to be released on June 21. New emoji range from expanded smileys and people to new animals, food, and sports.
Notable smileys include rolling on the floor laughing, drooling face, and nauseated face, while the people/body category gains shrug, selfie, and face palm. New animal emoji include gorilla, fox face, deer, shark, and owl, and some of the new foods include avocado, potato, croissant, pancakes, salad, and bacon.
There are a line of new medals, objects like a scooter and a canoe, and emoji to represent boxing gloves, martial arts uniforms, wrestlers, fencing, juggling, and more. Emojipedia has shared mockups and a full list of upcoming emoji.
The emoji above serve as simple mockups and are not representative of what the actual emoji will look like on various devices, but Emojipedia has created them in the Apple style. Apple and Google's designers will actually custom design emoji based on the Unicode Consortium's guidelines for each character, crafting them to fit in with existing emoji.
Though the Unicode Consortium is releasing Unicode 9 on June 21, the new emoji will not be available on iOS and Mac devices until Apple implements support for them, which can sometimes take several months. Apple currently supports Unicode 8, which introduced emoji like taco, burrito, unicorn face, and popcorn, along with emoji skin tone modifiers.
With the release of Unicode 9 on the horizon, the Unicode Consortium has already begun considering candidates for Unicode 10, with dumpling, takeout box, fortune cookie, orange heart, sled, and more under consideration.

Or just a dude.
I was just thinking the same thing, Gorilla emoji + person emoji + gun emoji = happy/sad face (depending on your point of view) lol.
Personally mine would equal --
I like you're animation
Rarely do I LOL actually out loud. Well done.I was just thinking the same thing, Gorilla emoji + person emoji + gun emoji = happy/sad face (depending on your point of view) lol.

Ehhh I don't feel a search function would help. Some people use the emojis for other meanings and would probably search that. Just like on OS X, you'd need to know every emoji term to search it.
Finally an emoticon of a rhino, kiwi fruit and Olympic fencing player. These might seem to be random, but for rhino pet owners, kiwi aficionados and moms with fencing playing kids, those are everything but random.
