Emoji have radically changed the way we communicate online. They're the eventual evolutions to the emoticons we used to have between the late 90s and the early 2000s, and since they were initially conceived, they have evolved into something that can accurately represent our emotions or visually represent anything we want to express. They get extended every year, with a number of new emoji being added to every year's new Unicode release and new versions of every major OS (Android, iOS, Windows) adding support for these new Unicode releases. Now, we're getting to know the latest Unicode release, Unicode, 13, with over 62 new emoji being added for this year.
