The new emojis are out - at least the ones Apple includes in the next iOS update:
Distorted Face, Fight Cloud, Hairy Creature, Ballet Dancer, Orca, Landslide, Trombone, Treasure Chest
Another emoji originally was on the list for Unicode 17, then postponed to 18, and in October 25, it was removed from the draft. Probably because a certain company in the consortium took offense to it.
U+1FADD
UPDATE: While I may not be able to use this as evidence ov "frequent usage", I still want to have an idea ov how many people might want this emoji, so I've created a custom URL: https://www.change.org/Sideways-Thumb-for-Unicode.
Hello, people ov Mastodon!
Question: if there was a thumbs-to-the-side emoji added to Unicode (the standard for most digital text*), would you use it? (Would you have used it by this point in time already?)
If so, consider signing my petition to get it added: https://www.change.org/p/get-sideways-thumb-emoji-added-to-unicode.
