    The new list of emoji, which fall under Unicode 13.0, will also feature “pinched fingers” to represent emphasis or sarcasm and a “disguised face”.

    Meanwhile, blueberries, flatbread, fondue and bubble tea will be added to the food department along with a tamale and teapot.

    “There are also 55 gender and skin-tone variants, including new gender-inclusive emoji,” the Consortium said on its blog.

    The gender-inclusive emoji will include a man feeding a baby, a person in a tuxedo and a ninja.

    According to the Consortium, the Emoji 13.0 will begin rolling out on platforms in September this year.
