Wake up babe, new emoji just dropped.

The Unicode Consortium has proposed adding these seven additional emoji to the standardized catalog referenced by iOS, Android, and other devices.

The beta review period for Unicode 16.0 lasts until July 2nd, after which the new emoji should be officially approved. It can, however, take several months for companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google to make their own designs so don’t expect to see them immediately.

Seven new emojis coming to iOS: A face with eye bags, a leafless tree, a harp, a root vegetable, a fingerprint, a shovel, and a splat of color.
