The timeline from the conception to implementation of an emoji is a long one, and the Unicode Consortium has revealed what might be coming next. After the beta period finalizes what is going into the final release, companies like Apple will have to create their own versions of each new emoji.
According to a release post detailing Unicode 16, first discovered by MacRumors, the Unicode update will contain new emoji. While the proposed emoji aren’t finalized, they are likely to make it to the release after the beta review period ends on July 2.
