Newest Emojis by Unicode Version

20 emojis ยท 1 versions

The Unicode Consortium releases new emoji batches annually, each expanding the standard's ability to represent the diversity of human expression. Each new version goes through a multi-year proposal, review, and approval process before appearing on your devices.

Recent emoji additions reflect evolving social needs: more skin tone options, gender-neutral alternatives, cultural symbols from underrepresented communities, and objects that capture modern life (like the wifi symbol or identification card). The Consortium weighs factors like expected usage frequency, visual distinctiveness, and whether existing emojis can already convey the meaning.

This ranking shows the most recently added emojis, ordered by their Unicode Emoji version (highest first). Newer emojis may not render on older devices or operating systems, which is why platform support information matters for developers and content creators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are new emojis released?
The Unicode Consortium typically releases new emoji versions once per year, usually in September. The process from proposal to release takes about 2 years, and platform support (Apple, Google, Samsung) follows 3-6 months after the Unicode release.
Why can't I see some newer emojis on my device?
Newer emojis require your operating system to have the latest Unicode support. If your device shows a blank square or a question mark instead of an emoji, you need to update your OS. Apple, Google, and other vendors release emoji updates alongside major OS versions.
How can I propose a new emoji?
Anyone can submit an emoji proposal to the Unicode Consortium. Proposals must include evidence of expected usage frequency, visual distinctiveness from existing emojis, and broad applicability. The Consortium's Emoji Subcommittee reviews proposals annually.
