ALERT ALERT ALERT iOS 26.4 beta 4 brings us what we have ALL been waiting for: A Trombone Emoji!

Approved in Unicode 17.0, the glyph U+1FA8A finally appears with this beta.

Now, that may or may not look like an actual trombone to you, depending on what version of what you are running.. It looks like this - this is an image, not an actual emoji though; it's how iOS renders it. Different vendors have the option of drawing it how they like.
