Shaking head and mean goose among new emojis

A shaking head, new heart colours and a familiar goose are among a new group of emojis set to be released this year.

Unicode Consortium's list contains only 31 new emojis, which expand what can be said through pictures and symbols in text and online messages.

This is a much smaller release than last year's 112 emojis, which included pregnant people, a crutch and a low battery sign.

The succinct release has been met with a mostly positive response online.

The emojis will go through a final round of approval in September before they are released. read more
