"Yes, there is indeed a nonprofit organization that creates standardized language across devices from a wide range of hardware makers - that's why if you send your friend a flamenco dancer emoji from your iPhone, they'll be able to see that suave dancer in a red dress on their Android. And that same organization gets the final say on what new emojis come to your device."
"Now, you can illustrate even the most bizarre of situations - we've all had that very relatable moment when you're taking a long trek up a mountain and suddenly, you find a buried treasure, at which your eyes bulge out and you suddenly notice a clearing where orcas are jumping in the distance, while ballerinas dance to trombone music. Also, you've just eaten a red apple."
The Unicode Consortium confirmed a new set of emojis slated to arrive within the next year. The organization standardizes emoji representation across devices so the same emoji appears consistently on different hardware. The incoming emoji set includes a trombone, treasure chest, eyes-bulging face, fight cloud, apple core, orca whale, gender-neutral ballet dancer, landslide, and Bigfoot. The emojis enable more varied and whimsical expression, allowing users to combine symbols for elaborate scenes. The next release will add various skin tone options for multi-person emojis such as people with bunny ears dancing and people wrestling. Device and platform makers will implement the new emoji designs following the Unicode standard.
