O Unicodea non-profit organization responsible for recommending new characters and concepts of emoji, revealed [PDF] which new options could be launched at the end of next year — both in iOS as well as on other systems and platforms.
These possible new emojis include a distorted panicked smiley face 1, an orca, a treasure chest, several ballet dancers, and a Bigfoot-inspired “furry creature.” Other suggestions include an apple core, a landslide, a treasure chest, a trombone and a “fight cloud.”
Every year, the group proposes a collection of new emojis (or changes to the existing list) to the Unicode technical committee. According to the Emojipedia, 164 emoji suggestions were sent for approval this month.

The remaining 150 emoji suggestions are various skin tone sequences for the existing emojis of people with bunny ears (
) and people fighting (
). Proposed support for these emojis will include both single skin tone (where the people in the emoji design share the same skin tone) and multiple skin tone support (where each person is displayed with a different skin tone) .
It is possible, however, that modifications will be made to the proposed designs, so that they can be changed until final approval; In this sense, if accepted, emojis will incorporate the Emoji 17.0whose launch should take place in September 2025.

**Interview with Unicode Emoji Expert Dr. Emily Chan on the Proposed Emojis for 2025-2026**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Chan. Unicode recently revealed a list of potential new emojis for next year. Can you share your thoughts on some of the most exciting additions?
**Dr. Emily Chan:** Absolutely, it’s great to be here! The new proposals really reflect current cultural trends and the diversity of human expression. I’m particularly excited about the “furry creature” inspired by Bigfoot and the various ballet dancer emojis – these capture unique aspects of our culture and hobbies.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned cultural reflection. How important do you think emojis are in representing different lifestyles and communities?
**Dr. Emily Chan:** Emojis have become a universal form of communication, breaking language barriers and allowing people to express their emotions and identities visually. Including diverse representations like dancers, orca whales, and even more abstract symbols like the “fight cloud” can help resonate with a broader audience.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of diversity, the proposal also includes several food-related emojis, including an apple core. How do you think people will react to that?
**Dr. Emily Chan:** Food emojis are always a hit! The apple core is quite relatable, symbolizing sustainability and the idea of reducing food waste. I think many people will appreciate emojis that encapsulate everyday experiences.
**Interviewer:** With 164 suggestions submitted for approval, how does Unicode decide which emojis make the final cut?
**Dr. Emily Chan:** It’s a rigorous process. The Unicode technical committee reviews each suggestion based on several criteria, including compatibility, expected usage level, and uniqueness. The goal is to enhance communication without overwhelming users.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, are there any specific emojis from this list that you feel might become fan favorites?
**Dr. Emily Chan:** I believe the distorted panicked smiley face could resonate widely, especially in our current climate. It captures a feeling that many people can relate to. The treasure chest and orca are also likely to become popular as they tap into themes of adventure and nature.
