Unicode Consortium's list contains only 31 new emojis, which expand what can be said through pictures and symbols in text and online messages.
This is a much smaller release than last year's 112 emojis, which included pregnant people, a crutch and a low battery sign.
The succinct release has been met with a mostly positive response online.
The emojis will go through a final round of approval in September before they are released.
