From smiley faces to cheeky aubergines, emoji now form a part of many people’s daily conversations online.
Now, the Unicode Consortium has released a full list of all the new emoji coming this year, including some rather hilarious characters.
In a blog about the update, Emojipedia explained: “Announced today by the Unicode Consortium, the 117 new emojis form part of Emoji 13.0 and will come to most platforms in the second half of 2020.”
The new emoji include two new smiley faces – a ‘smiling face with tear’ and a ‘disguised face’ – as well as a several new characters, including a man in a wedding dress, and a Mrs Claus.
Several new animals have been added, including a polar bear, mammoth, bison and seal, while new food items include bubble tea, a green pepper, a cheese fondue pot and an olive.

However, there’s one new emoji that’s really captured people’s attention on Twitter- a pinched fingers emoji, referred to as ‘Italian Hand Gesture.’
One user tweeted: “Olives AND pinched fingers? huge progress for maintaining Italian stereotypes.”

Another wrote: “I lived in Italy and Italian people use the pinched finger gesture for EVERYTHING. You know how we do like a face if we’re confused about something? they just do the pinched hand.”
And one joked: “You see pinched fingers. I see someone eating rice. Culture.”
The new emoji will be released later this year.
