The Unicode Consortium — a nonprofit brand that sets the global standard for emoji, announced on Wednesday 7th February that 157 new emoji options would be coming later this year.
The latest collection will include a cupcakes, lobsters, pirate flag and more expressive smiley faces.
Emoji will soon have a variety of new hairstyles, such as curly or bald, and more hair color options such as red and white.

There will also be more animals, such as a kangaroo, llama, swan and mosquito. More fun smiley faces include a “cold face” with dangling icicles, a partying face and a “woozy” emoji.
After Unicode releases its guidelines, software makers such as Apple and Google design versions for their respective platforms. That’s why emoji on iPhones look different than those on Android phones.
The new emoji usually begin appearing on mobile phones later this year. Apple typically previews its versions in June and releases them in the fall with the next iOS update. Android will release its emoji later this year.
New superheros and villains join the lineup, and popular activities like lacrosse, knitting, sewing and skateboarding are also represented.
