Sounds silly but the only emoji i'd actually care about is if they release a Stout beer emoji.
Just wish we could get a good firefly (lightning bug) emoji...
Literally first line of the article.. "The Unicode Consortium today announced it has finalized a new set of 157 emoji that companies like Apple will be able to implement later this year."
Apple has nothing to do with creating these. Your comment makes no sense.
As the article said, this isn’t Apple! It’s the Unicode Consortium. Yes, Apple’s in the consortium, but so’s Google. And Microsoft. And Huawei. And a dozen other major tech companies. So unless you think they’ve all hit a wall, chill with the reflexive Apple hate. I’m as tired of emoji as anyone, but sheesh!

You know if you don't use them then you are effectively living in a world without emoji, right?
What recent keynote can you name where Emoji were mentioned at all? (No, Animoji don't count.)

To be fair, Apple is one of the driving forces in that consortium.
I was editing my post as you posted. Sure they are. And so are a dozen other companies, like Google and Huawei, none of whom are being called out for hitting a wall.
I love when these stories are posted. People losing their minds and overreacting over something so minor that they never need to use.
You don’t have to use them
Yeah me too. Cant recall how many times I wish I had a spool of thread or red petri dish emoji only to be disappointed after searching through hundreds that they didn't exist. I can hardly wait!I know this is super silly but there are quite a few that I would use all the time

Right. I think the constant complaints about emoji on MacRumors Forums are… trite and also bizarre. They don't take up significant engineering resources, they're more or less needed to keep up with the competition, and they do seem to bring joy to plenty of users.
That said, Apple could steer the consortium in a different direction if they wanted to. (I just don't see why they would.)
Greatest news ever
Im so pumped to have more emoji clogging up my user experience.
Hope there is 1000s more incoming, because my words cant explain my thoughts and feelings

Yeah! that's the stuff I need when my HP Color Laserjet doesn't print, neither one-sided nor duplex. Not even talking about "brochure" mode (not using the primitive AirPrint driver), just because the two Mega-Corps Apple and HP "forgot" to talk to each other. "It just works" is now for Linux? Err, which?
I wish Apple put the same amount of attention to detail in their OS as they do with their emojis. I have always preferred their realistic approach and am glad they haven’t gone the flat route like everyone else (at least not yet and hopefully they never will). It’s the only true form of skeumoprhism they have left which has surprisingly not only remained but get more and more relaistic with each revision. Funny that, how their realistic emojis actually stand out above their flat competitors. It’s a shame they didn’t realise that before flattening their entire OS.

I remember in olden times, there were just eight or so emojis. And if one of those didn’t fit you’re emotion or appearance or condition or nationality or gender or religion or currency or object or food or....
You just changed yourself to FIT one of eight emojis. Or so.

Maybe instead of emojis, apple can get to re-designing the IOS or something, kinda needs an upgrade instead of new emoji's just my .2cents
Emoji are the reason why Apple dropped the 32GB option... not enough capacity to store them all.
I wish that Apple would adopt something similar to Slack on their text input fields where you can search for an emoji if you know the general idea of what you're looking for by using a colon and the search term i.e. ":glass" would be enough to yield results for several variations of emoji that have glass in their name, narrowing down the ones you might be looking for.
