Damn Unicode and all its available space. One day they’re going to fill it all up with emojis.
These are just mockups, not Apples official emoji. We won't see those until they release them.
Honestly 17 has been rock solid for me for the past few betas. Hopefully it goes smooth for you.
As an somewhat older person I can't believe people care about this nonsense.
Cough Four Hut Arm ?
Someone pass me the latest Oxford Emoji Dictionary please.
I am definitely no good at this new language.
🙂
Still waiting for a turntable emoji. Can’t be that difficult….
As Apple was announcing new iPhone models last week, the Unicode Consortium was officially approving new emoji characters that are set to be added to smartphones starting in 2024.
Approved Unicode 15.1 emoji include phoenix, lime, an edible mushroom, shaking head vertically (as in a "yes" nod), shaking head horizontally (a "no" head shake), and broken chain.
There are four new family emoji combinations, along with updates to six people emoji that now have direction specifications such as facing right or facing left. The direction options can be used with person walking, person running, person kneeling, person with white cane, person in manual wheelchair, and person in motorized wheelchair.
Unicode updates often include quite a few emoji characters, so the 15.1 update is smaller in scale than a typical year. Unicode 15.1 does, however, add a number of new non-emoji characters for use in China.
Following the approval of new emoji characters, it takes smartphone makers like Apple several months to design artwork for the emoji and add them to iOS. We can expect to see the emoji updates in a future version of iOS 17.
Last year, Apple added new emoji to the iOS 16.4 update that was released in February 2023, so the company might follow a similar timeline in 2024. Last year's emoji additions included shaking face, pink heart, light blue heart, donkey, moose, goose, wing, jellyfish, hyacinth, pea pod, ginger, flute, maracas, and black bird.

You're halfway right. Apple has held a BIG position on the Unicode Consortium since quite a few years now.
Also, the original Emoji design usually comes from Apple and then the other companies create their alternative version to match their styling.
On another topic, I always come across opinions like "Apple should fix bugs instead of working on Emojis".
This is totally irrelevant. People at Apple who fix the bugs in iOS are called programmers. Those who design emojis are called designers. Totally different teams.

F emojis, every one of them!
Can you imagine the guy or gal that says O yeah my job is making those annoying emojis that no one needs.

Not in the Indian Sub-continent, where these emojis could become popular and important see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_bobble

let's all take a breath together and focus on the good side
We are happy and not part of the greedy people who wants to exploit the world with AI and keep the wealth to themselves to sit there in an empty apartment in a big city
I've been waiting for a shaking head for years 🤣
