In the World Emoji Day which celebrates popular emojis and a busy day for tech-related businesses, Apple introduced a bunch of new emojis which come as part of its iOS 12 update.
"As always, some of the most vocal requests for new emojis are about representation, and this update delivers some of the most common requests. In particular the redheads and curly haired options are likely to be popular," said Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia and creator of World Emoji Day.
Among the 70 new emojis, Apple has included a handful of hairstyles: curly hair, red hair, gray hair and no-hair options. However, the choices are only available to some popular emojis
"I do think some users will be in for a shock if they're expecting every emoji to have a redheaded option," said Burge.
Besides some redheads and baldies, Apple also added a handful of realistic animals into its emoji list. It includes: a parrot, kangaroo, lobster and peacock.
Then there is the freezing-cold face, a mango, a lettuce, a cupcake, and a mooncake.
"I hope people will try using World Emoji Day as an excuse to lighten up their online communications," said Burge. "Honestly, there's nothing better than when someone who might have seemed a bit aloof via email sends an emoji and you can breathe out, knowing we're all just humans after all."
The new emojis were first announced in February by the Unicode Consortium, the non-profit organization that manages the emoji standards.
They were all created based on previously approved characters in Unicode 11.0.
The original list included some emojis that aren't previously previewed in Apple's announcement, such as a llama and a mosquito. Apple said that these will be included when the update rolls out.
"Many additional characters across sports, symbols, and more, will launch later this year, including a new superhero emoji, a softball, Nazar amulet, and infinity symbol," Apple wrote in its blog post. The company is also adding fresh smiley faces which include: cold face, party face, pleading face, and a face with hearts.
