Here are all the exciting new emojis coming in 2020
They are very inclusive
It's a brand new year so we've been expecting some brand new emojis, and we've not been left disappointed! A whopping 117 brand new emojis have made the final list for Emojipedia to develop, with them set to land on our devices later in 2020.
The new emojis include an incredibly cute seal, a bell pepper, a teapot, a black cat, a piñata, a ninja, lungs, pinched fingers, a military helmet and a disgusted face.
The 2020 update is also a lot more inclusive, with a gender-inclusive Santa Claus, the Transgender Flag and Symbol, a gender-neutral person wearing a tuxedo, and a gender-neutral person wearing a veil.
Among the 117 new emojis for 2020, there's also some very random additions, including a toothbrush, a mouse trap, a headstone, a mirror, a plunger, an elevator and a ladder.
After the announcement online, users seemed very keen on the new emojis, one wrote, 'Can't wait to use these', with another adding, 'I see a great future for the pinched fingers emoji... Also, (at) last but not least: transgender flag emoji 👏👏👏'. sic
A third adding, 'Love the new emojis'. sic
Check out all of the Emojis that have complete different meanings to what you think:
1) Bowing Man 🙇
This guy isn't thinking, he's bowing! Although often mistaken for a man thinking or doing push-ups, this emoji is actually bowing deeply called dogeza in Japan.
2) Sleepy Face 😪
Although technically called 'Sleepy Face', this emoji isn't crying, the 'tear' is actually coming from its nose. This brings a whole other meaning to this 'sad' emoji.
3) See-No-Evil Monkey 🙈
While most people assume it mean 'oh dear' or 'oops', the 'See-No-Evil Monkey' actually part of the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' proverb, hence the other two monkey emojis next to it.
4) Person Gesturing No 🙅
While it looks like the person could be doing The X Factor symbol, she is actually gesturing 'no'.
5) Face With Steam From Nose 😤
In a survey conducted last year 69% of the people asked perceived this to mean 'very angry/in a huff'. It actually means 'expressing triumph after great frustration'.
6) Tired Face 😫
This 'tired face' is often confused with the similar 'weary face'. Some also interpret it as a frustrated face.
7) Hushed Face 😯
Its proper definition is someone who should be kept quiet, but many believe it to be surprised or astonished.
8) Disappointed but Relieved Face 😥
Contrary to the upset meaning that many use it for, its true meaning is 'disappointed but relieved'.
9) Dash Symbol 💨
Whilst many think of this as a fart it actually means the fast movement of a person or vehicle!
10) Person with Folded Hands 🙏
No, this person isn't praying! In Japan, a folded hand gesture is commonly used to say 'please' and 'thank you'.
11) Poop emoji
Perhaps the most famous misinterpreted emoji, this little fella isn't actually a poop - he's a happy chocolate ice cream, duh. It was proven (by science) when a Twitter user superimposed the ALLEGED poop over the actual Ice Cream emoji and the shapes fit exactly.
12) Dancing girls
These are dancing girls of the rather more risqué persuasion than what you've been using them as. Sure, nothing says gals night out on the town like these two, but they actually originated as Japanese 'bunny girls', akin to strippers or playboy bunnies.
13) Sassy Girl
There's a Sassy Girl in all of us, but it turns out she's not actually flicking her hair like she just don't care in this emoji - she's actually an information kiosk lady. Who knew.
14) Aubergine emoji
While we know - WE KNOW - that popular culture dictates that this is, in fact a peen, you'll be sad to know that it wasn't designed as such and is actually just an Aub. Day ruiner or what.
According to Emojipedia, the brand new emojis will begin to appear on user's devices in various software updates in 2020, with Android in beta around August, and iOS and macOS in October or November.
We can't wait for them to arrive!
