Soon on smartphones
Dead tree and more: 2025 brings new emojis
A dead tree, a fingerprint and beet: These and other emojis can soon be used in messaging services, as announced by the Unicode Consortium, which sets the international standard for character encoding.
Unicode had already announced the new emojis for spring 2025 in fall 2024. However, according to the information provided, they will not be seen on smartphones and tablets until spring 2025. Unicode did not give an exact date. The new symbols include a fingerprint, beet and a blob of color.
A tree without leaves is also included. This is intended to draw attention to the droughts caused by climate change, according to the statement. "Climate change, environmental collapse and extended drought year after year are becoming part of our everyday lives," wrote Brian Baihaki, who requested the emoji.
All creative minds can apply to Unicode for emojis. All that is required is a good explanation of the added value of the submitted character. Logos or specific people are not permitted - a jury decides which ones ultimately make it through.
What awaits us
A list from Unicode shows which proposed emojis have already been published or rejected and which may still be published. According to the list, "acne", "e-cigarette", "tampon" and "lasagna" have been rejected as suggestions.
Later this year, we can look forward to the "Hairy Creature", for example, which is based on the snowman Yeti. A "distorted face" in fisheye style is also among the new additions for the rest of the year. Even the remains of an apple and a "battle cloud" are set to become part of the modern visual language.
