Now instead of a new batch of emoji coming out in 2021, we won&rsquo;t see the new ones until 2022. The reason is &mdash; you guessed it &mdash; COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the Consortium is delaying the release of Unicode Standard Version 14.0, which would include a new batch of emoji characters.&nbsp;Mark Davis, President of the Consortium, said&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.unicode.org\/2020\/04\/unicode-140-delayed-for-6-months.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">in a statement<\/a>&nbsp;that attempting to adhere to the original schedule would put a strain on the Consortium&rsquo;s volunteers: &ldquo;Under the current circumstances we&rsquo;ve heard that our contributors have a lot on&nbsp;their plates at the moment and decided it was in the best interests of our&nbsp;volunteers and the organizations that depend on the standard to push out our&nbsp;release date. This&nbsp;year we simply can&rsquo;t commit to the same schedule we&rsquo;ve adhered to in the past.&rdquo;&nbsp;One assumes &ldquo;current circumstances&rdquo; can only refer to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>This won&rsquo;t effect the rollout of Unicode 13.0&rsquo;s emoji &mdash; the Consortium made Unicode Standard Version 13.0 available in March and the emoji are expected to be adopted later this year. In case you haven&rsquo;t seen them,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/tech\/2020\/01\/30\/unicode-consortium-added-transgender-flag-emoji-gender-inclusive-designs\/\">this update would such delights<\/a>&nbsp;as the trans flag, bubble tea, a mothereffing&nbsp;<em>ninja&nbsp;<\/em>and what appears to be a Groucho Marx face. This is also the update that adds more gender-inclusive designs. Those emoji are still on track to roll out. As Unicode said in its announcement, those emoji were finalized in January.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, we don&rsquo;t yet know what emoji Unicode 14.0 would include, but that&rsquo;s the fun part: finding out what new little symbols you&rsquo;re going to get and trying to find some way to work them into conversation for the next month. Unicode also announced: &ldquo;With the delay of the release of Unicode 14.0, the deadline for submission of new emoji character proposals for Emoji 14.0 is also being postponed until September 2020.&rdquo; Submissions will open in June.<\/p>\n<p>The emoji from Unicode 13.0 might be included in Apple&rsquo;s release of iOS 14, which is expected to roll out this fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/tech\/2020\/01\/30\/unicode-consortium-added-transgender-flag-emoji-gender-inclusive-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/tech\/2020\/01\/30\/unicode-consortium-added-transgender-flag-emoji-gender-inclusive-designs\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>RACHEL KASER <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>RACHEL KASER <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Unicode Consortium announced last week that it was pushing the release of Unicode 14 back by six months.
