(KRLD Newsradio) — Expect to see some new faces in your texting apps by the end of this year and through 2022.
Unicode released its latest round of emojis on Wednesday, which have been in the works for the last two months. However, there was a delay due to the pandemic.
The update will add 838 characters to the text standard. Of those 838 characters, 37 represent new emojis, like a melting face, a lotus, a troll, a mirror ball, and a nest with eggs.
K-pop fans will also be thrilled to know they can now do the "finger heart" sign.
So, continue to update your phones when prompted. You may just be one of the first to have the ability to text new fun expressions.
