Soap bubbles, hamsa, an empty battery, a lifebuoy and a disco ball are just some of the long line of emojis that will make their way to us - if approved by the global standards organization Unicode, which is responsible for approving emojis, and will reach our keyboards as part of an update 14.0 by the end of the year.

Another possible is a melting smiley, a saluting face, a frightened face with a sucking eye, a slide, a wheel, a bird's nest - with and without eggs, a handshake and hands that make a heart shape.

Alongside this, Unicode continues to emphasize gender representation and may add an emoji of a pregnant man in different versions of skin tones.

The final version of the new emoji is expected to be released on September 14, so we're likely to see changes - and even meet other examples of the icons just released.

As you may recall, the World Standards Organization relies on volunteers - which has led to a delay in the release of new emojis in the past year due to the eruption of the corona.
