118 New Emojis Are on the Way

118 new emojis have been revealed, which will be coming to your phones sometime this spring.  The additions include a phoenix . . . a lime and a brown mushroom . . . and a broken chain.

There’s also two new “smile” emojis:  One that’s shaking its head from side-to-side, and another that’s shaking its head up-and-down.

There are also a series of gender-neutral family emojis . . . basically silhouette versions of the existing family emojis that have various combinations of genders.

The other 108 are just additional versions of the people walking . . . running . . . kneeling . . . sitting in wheelchairs . . . and walking with canes.

These allow them to face the opposite direction, while also supporting all three emoji gender options, as well as the five skin tones.
