An army of volunteers is needed to make emojis happen and those folks have a lot on their plates, according to the Unicode Consortium.


There will be no new emojis released in 2021. Blame the coronavirus.

The Unicode Consortium, which is the group that handles emoji releases, said Thursday that it will accept emoji character proposals for Emoji 14.0 from June 15 to Sept. 1, 2020. Any new emojis added to Emoji 14.0 will appear in 2022.

3. Heaven forbid Trump is re-elected,

I was really looking forward to the 'shoot myself in the head' emoji.

And the 'bang my head against the wall but have my head wrapped in bloody bandages' emoji.

The 'sit in front of the TV 24/7 and eat all the chocolate in the world' emoji. I need that one right now.

The Sarah Cooper emoji! I also need that one right now.

5. Well then, to all the DU developers, get busy!

I can come up with a lot more ideas.
I don't know if that's a good thing.
