A set of 59 new emoji has just been approved by Unicode Consortium, which means you will see them on all platforms that support it.
Of the 59 new emojis (230 if you include all the differences in gender and skin color) a large part are about people with disabilities. You will also see new animals (from dogs to badgers), food, sports and many other items.
People with disabilities will be able to try a nice variety of emoji for them (wheelchairs, mechanical arms and legs, guide dogs, etc.), although of course this can not be easily exhausted (for example, it does not represent a learning disability or mental illness etc).
These images, as usual, are just samples. The final emoji to be used depend on your device or service. However, since these were suggested by Apple, and plus that Apple is a popular platform for emoji use, you can probably expect that these will be pretty much the end ones.
There are many other useful things added as well. Animals such as dogs, otters, sloths, orangutans, badgers and flamingos. Some delicious food like waffles, falafel and butter some data related to sports such as skydiving, diving, etc.
There is support for people of different colors and genders, that is, every emoji that depicts a person comes out in version male - female - genderless, as well as in various skin colors (black, white, red, yellow, etc.). The latest addition is a genderless pair holding hands, with the full set of color variations.
You'll have to wait a while to see them. Unicode says new emoji "typically" arrive between September and October, or around when Apple and Google release their major updates OS. You may have to wait even longer if the manufacturer of your Android devices does not provide updates immediately.
