Some 117 new emojis, approved by the Unicode Consortium, will be rolled out later this year -- with the theme of gender inclusivity.
The new emojis include a transgender flag, gender-neutral Santa Claus and a man wearing a wedding veil.
Also featured are bubble tea, a human heart and a smiley face shedding a tear.
The "Italian Hand Gesture" is also included, which can be used to mean all kinds of things, depending on the context of course.
