Emoji 13.0 list has been announced by the Unicode Consortium. It includes 117 new emojis, which include bubble tea, pinched fingers, ninja, piñata, gender-neutral persons in tuxedo and veil, and various animals and insects. These should be part of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Windows and Android updates in 2020.

The focus of the emoji updates for this year has been diverse and gender-neutral characters and various animals and food items. Santa, person in tuxedo and person in veil are some of the new gender-neutral emojis. New food items include bubble tea, olive, teapot and fondue. Animals like black cat, bison and polar bear are also part of the updates. Insects like fly, cockroach and worm also made the final cut. You will also be able to use an anatomically correct version of the human heart as an emoji.

New emojis are now added to the Unicode standard on an annual basis. These emojis are proposed by different companies like Google, Apple and Twitter, and finalized by the start of the year. This allows ample time for these platforms to include these in future updates.
