New Emojis for 2025

Share to Google Classroom

In 2025, we might see eight new emojis added to the vast collection of over 3,700 emojis we use to express ourselves online.

Emojis help us show our emotions, ideas, and reactions in a fun and colorful way. Every year on July 17, we celebrate these tiny images on World Emoji Day.

The potential new emojis for 2025 include:

Paint splatter
Leafless tree
Tired face with bags under its eyes
Harp
Shovel
Human fingerprint
Root vegetable
Flag of Sark (a tiny island in the Channel Islands)

Before these emojis can appear on our devices, they need to be approved by the Unicode Consortium, the group that decides which new emojis to introduce each year. If these eight emojis are approved in September, the total number will reach 3,790. This batch, known as Emoji 16.0, would be the smallest group ever approved, with the previous smallest being Emoji 15.0 in 2022, which added 31 new emojis.
