Unicode has announced a list of interesting new emoji which will make their debut on your devices in 2019. The list includes 59 new emoji with 171 variants for gender and skin tone, making the total count of 230.
Some of the new emoji include mechanical arm, deaf person, drop of blood, waffle, ice cube, yawning face, pinching hand, among others.
Making the emoji set more diverse, new characters such as a man in a wheelchair, woman in a wheelchair, man with probing cane, people holding hands, motorized wheelchair, and guide dog have also been added.
The new emoji will start showing up on mobile devices later this year in September or October.
