Apple has revealed 13 new emoji coming soon to its mobile platform

The selection Unicode Consortium approved back in January a group of new emoji to available this fall with the i0S14 update.

From ENGADGET:

Aside from the ninja emoji, the set includes a bubble tea emoji, realistic-looking (and timely) heart and lungs emoji, as well as the pinched hand emoji that people are already calling the “Italian Hand.” It also includes the transgender symbol — one of the many the consortium approved to make your emoji selection more gender-inclusive. It’s unclear when the transgender flag, the smiling face with a single tear and the new gender-inclusive veil and tuxedo options will be rolling out.

Apple is also releasing new colored face mask options for Memojis, the avatars that users create to look like themselves.
