Emojis have become so ingrained in our culture that they're now part of the way we communicate. We can order pizza with them, wear them on our shirts, and even use them to rewrite classics. But for all we can do with them, there's a limit. Horribly, we still can't send our friends emojis of avocados or pregnant women.
Luckily, Unicode, the team behind emojis, is looking to add some fresh symbols into mix. After examining what users requested the most frequently, they drew up a list of potential new additions. You can see the notes for what each one might be used for. These new emojis will be added in 2016, but it would be up to Apple and Android to illustrate for your phone.
Here's the full list:
- Face with cowboy hat
- Clown face
- Nauseated face
- Rolling on the floor laughing
