Emoji Recently Added, v12.0
The following emoji characters and sequences have been added to
this version of Unicode Emoji. Platforms are included where
images have been made available (however, the images may be
development versions). The skin-tone variants are not shown,
but are listed in the counts at the end.
The characters were based on proposals received by the Unicode
Consortium, reviewed by the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, and
selected on the basis of the Emoji Selection Factors in
Submitting Emoji Proposals. That page also describes the
Process and Timeline for proposals.
