A tasty bacon emoji and 37 others could arrive sometime next year on the iPhone and iPad
Get ready for bacon, avocado, cucumber, and more in your iPhone and iPad. According to Yahoo Tech, the Unicode Consortium is adding 38 new emojis to its Unicode 9.0 update. The new emojis should officially arrive in June 2016 and could make their way to a new version of iOS around that time.
Without any further delay, here is the complete list:
· Face with cowboy hat · Clown face · Nauseated face · Rolling on the floor laughing · Drooling face · Lying face · “Call me” hand · Selfie · Raised back of hand · Left-facing fist · Right-facing fist · Handshake · Hand with first and index finger crossed · Pregnant woman · Face palm · Shrug · Man dancing · Prince · Man in tuxedo · Mother Christmas · Wilted flower · Scooter · Motor scooter · Octagonal sign · Clinking glasses · Black heart · Croissant · Avocado · Cucumber · Bacon · Potato · Carrot · Fox face · Eagle · Duck · Bat · Shark · Owl
Starting with iOS 8.3, Apple began to add the previous version of Unicode into the mobile OS. That brought a number of racially diverse emoji to use.
I’ve never been a big fan of using emoji when messaging friends and family. But everything is better with bacon, right?
