The Unicode consortium -- the people responsible for creating the emojis ask people suggestions for what emojis it wants people to include in their next update and after getting a ton of suggestions, it has shortlisted 60 new emojis that will be included in the paraphernalia of emojis.

One of the new set of emojis are focussed on gender-neutrality. These include men and women in a suit, men and women in a wedding gown, as well as both men and women feeding the baby.

Another cool set of emojis is a smiling teardrop emoji, a transgender flag emoji as well as an emoji that looks like two people hugging. You also get the Italian hand gesture for ¡®What do you want?¡¯.

There are a few animals added to the list too including a woolly mammoth, dodo as well as a polar bear face. You also get a cool fondue pot (with the Swiss symbol on it) as well as your very own glass of Boba bubble tea!
