Rejoice, fans of wordless communication: new emoji are (possibly) coming.
Unicode has just shared the newest candidates for new emoji. They’re very exciting.
The new emoji have been proposed for next June – just in time for the Summer Olympics – so include a load of sportsy options.
Soon, you’ll be able to live-text the entirety of the world’s biggest sports and athletics event, with a person doing a cartwheel (also handy for expressing extreme excitement), fencers, horse-riders, and gold, silver, and bronze medals.
There’s also a proposed triathalon emoji, which we think could be a tad too complicated to get approved.
