The Unicode Consortium in Mountain View, California, might approve many new emojis in 2025. The Unicode Consortium has suggested eight new emoji characters for Unicode 17.0, including Bigfoot-like creatures, distorted faces, fight clouds, apple cores, orcas, trombones, landslides, and treasure chests, which might appear on smartphones soon.
The Unicode Consortium plans to release 164 new digital hieroglyphics in 2025, including a Bigfoot facsimile and nine new characters. Emoji 17.0 and Unicode 17.0 beta will include a bug-eyed deformed face symbol, a ballet dancer doing an arabesque, apple core, orca, trombone, landslide, treasure chest and the famous ‘fight cloud’ emoji.

According to MacRumors, additional characters and skin tone variants for current emojis including ballet dancers, bunny ears, and wrestling have been requested. Despite the fact that the Unicode Consortium established the emoji code, Apple’s designers will customise these symbols in their own unique way once Unicode 17 is finalised. Apple’s implementation is likely in spring 2026, according to their regular emoji release timeline.

Apple plans to roll out Unicode 16 characters in 2025, as accepted in September 2024. These emojis feature a face with bags under the eyes, a fingerprint, a leafless tree, a root vegetable, a harp, a shovel, and splatter. The latest new emoji was added in March 2024 with the iOS 17.4 release. Apple will also offer Genmoji for Apple Intelligence-enabled devices, a customisable emoji developed based on user phrases. Genmoji are not cross-platform and do not appear as emoji characters on Android devices.
