“Bacon, a potato, an avocado, clinking glasses and a scooter,” Jonathan O’Callaghan reports for The Daily Mail. “No, this isn’t some bizarre shopping list – it’s a selection of the 38 new emoji that will be available to use from next year.”
“The various emoji were selected by an organisation called the Unicode Consortium in California responsible for developing Unicode, which standardises emoji across different platforms,” O’Callaghan reports. “According to Yahoo, the new emoji will be included with Unicode 9.0 in June 2016 although this hasn’t been confirmed.”
“Unicode said these 38 had been selected for a range of reasons, including ‘popular requests from online communities,'” O’Callaghan reports. “For example, a new ‘selfie’ emoji is being included owing to its 285 million Google search results and more than 138 million images.”

Still… no volleyball.

Bacon emoji? For the non-religious?
You say non-religious like we are a minority. It’s not the 1800’s, so naturally it’s the other way around. The only people who are still religious are a small minority of easily manipulated fools and terrorists.
You don’t need any religion; you are a god in your own mind. Revel in your brilliance.
Mike’s brilliance is just as plausible as any of the thousands of deities that have been conjured up by humans over the many years.
You mean for non-Jews and non-Muslims. Christians and others can eat as much bacon as they want (within reason).
It is actually turkey bacon and beef bacon in the emoji.
The Other Bacon, now THAT’S funny!
I am not advocating but there’s a huge adult industry, ripe for emoji. Just saying, not that I would use them but it would offer colorful dialog.
Yeah, I’m getting tired of sending my wife the 69 emoji from my iPhone. Need some new naughty ones.
So, what would you like to see added in the future?
That’s suppose to be a cowboy hat?!?!?
Well, at least John Travolta is getting his own emoji. 🙂
