New emojis are on the way with one we’ve been waiting for

This will replace the unicorn.

56 new emojis on the way.

Sometimes emoji speak is a lot easier than actual real-life chat and we’ll never get tired of using them to liven up texts.

If you feel the same, you’ll be delighted to hear that are lots of new options coming later this year.

These include merpeople, a male and a female, (aka the new unicorn), a fairy, broccoli for all the fit fam-ers, a hijab-wearing woman, meditating emoji, breastfeeding emoji, shy face, shhh! face and a cursing emoji.

There’s no exact date on when the new emoji will arrive, all part of Unicode 10.0, but rumour has it that we’ll have to wait until 2017.
