Unicode Consortium has approved 8 new emojis for iOS 26 update, including Trombone, Treasure Chest, Distorted Face, Hairy Creature, Fight Cloud, Apple Core, Orca, Ballet Dancers, and Landslide. The new emojis have symbolic meanings and are visually distinctive, with designs likely to be adopted by Apple before being added to iOS 26.
The Unicode Consortium has approved eight new emojis for the upcoming iOS 26 update, adding a fresh batch of characters to the ever-evolving world of digital communication. The new emojis, which include a trombone, treasure chest, distorted face, hairy creature, fight cloud, apple core, orca, ballet dancers, and landslide, were selected to be part of Unicode 17.0 [1].The Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit organization responsible for maintaining the Unicode Standard, ensures that text and emojis appear consistently across all platforms and devices. The new emojis were chosen by the Consortium and will be designed by Apple before being integrated into iOS 26. Apple typically takes several months to design its own custom versions of new emojis, with the latest additions often appearing in subsequent updates [2].
The new emojis are expected to be introduced in iOS 26.4, likely in the spring of 2026, following the release of Unicode 17 later this year. This timeline aligns with Apple's historical pattern of incorporating new emoji sets a few updates after the initial Unicode release.
The addition of these emojis reflects the ongoing evolution of digital communication and the growing demand for expressive and diverse symbols. As Apple continues to refine its emoji designs, these new characters promise to enhance the user experience and provide additional ways for users to convey their thoughts and emotions.
