Selfie, Bacon, and Avocado Among Emoji Proposed for Inclusion in 2016's Unicode 9

[Hastings101]

I am so ready for that fox face hahaha

Dear Apple (not that you are listening, nor that you care):

Instead of spending more $$$ on senseless and useless and dated emoji(s), could you please spend a tenth of that on your software testing? Geez, so many bugs, so little time…. (No one in their right mind would even install Yosemite… that is, if you rely on your Mac for your income-producing work.)

Get off the fashion boat and get back onto the software train!

 

[Parasprite]

I won't start using emoji until they add ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

There are already too many damn Emoji's to choose from. Are peoples vocabulary so poor they can't use words anymore?

Yes unfortunately. The vocabulary of the average high school graduate has been declining for decades and some studies claim it's now less than ten thousand words.

 

[alvindarkness]

Why not? They put up an article just to remind us that BlackBerry is a dead horse.

Perhaps both can be put into the "was it really necessary" category

If you introduce bacon you have to introduce a drooling face.

 

[The Tuck]

My favorite parts of this are that bacon and avocado are proposed to get their own emoji.

Tuck

That croissant emoji is so hot right now. Croissant emoji...

No whiskey emoji yet though.

 

[ahbiteme]

Really? I'm done with emoji and emoticons.

So done.

[Dargoth]

I don't get it. There's a selfie emoji, but no DUCK FACE ???

The world would be a better place
If ducks did not have a face.

Dear User, we have evaluated your request and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a good idea to only have one fifth of an entry level software engineer on software testing.



Seriously. What do you think how many developers are involved with this?

 

[northernbaldy]

memes will be built into the os next!

I must be getting old

 

[zephonic]

Pah. We need a :facepalm: emoji

Well said! Who gives a ****** about emojis? Get back to creating decent software with decent useable UI's again!

 

[BruceEBonus]

On a brighter note.

Selfie sticks are also lightning conductors!

 

[bushido]

Kim Kardashian probably has a patent on it

you do realize software development is split into different groups plus this isn't really about Apple anyway

Emojis absorb too much time. A three second text, but one to two minutes selecting the appropriate emoji to augment the text.

 

[macintoshi]

Cool

Oh waw what news, its a perfect update! some do really have a big nose, looool, sadly there are no long tongues as well and long ears

 

[applepuree]

And also, who eats owls?

puts away recipe book.

Emoji are annoying

Advertisers are using Emoji extensively to fancy up their email subject lines which is really annoying. I wish there was a way to turn off Emoji system wide as well as simply in the mail's subject lines.

Can't believe there's still no fingers crossed

Maybe on a phone but certainly not on a watch. As more people buy wearables, theses emoji are going to continue to gain in importance.

At last, I will be able to send messages to people consisting entirely of bacon.
