After months of work aligning Unicode 10.0 code points with new features in Emoji 5.0, the 2017 emoji list is now final.
These include smileys, people, food, drink, flags, and for the first time: new fantasy characters such as a mermaid, genie, and vampire.
We are today releasing the final version of our sample images for this update. These have been designed in the “Apple style” to picture how these emojis may look when hitting phones later in the year.
Lots of fun stuff in here.
