The Unicode Consortium announces release 17.2.0 of the Unicode standard.

A. Summary

41 new Emoji characters have been added, most notably:

◦ The smell of rain
◦ The feeling of being asked to remove your headphones on public transport by a stranger hitting on you (U+F0AD)
◦ The sound of standing on your spectacles while trying to locate them in the dark
◦ The moment at 5am when a cat is delightfully making biscuits on your abdomen but you need to get up to pee

@Unixbigot I am most looking forward to the new emoji for when you can’t find a matching sock in your clean laundry, but the next time you do a load of laundry it appears in that load and you can pair your socks again.
