It’s official: We’re getting a pickle emoji next year. On Sept. 16, the Unicode Consortium approved nine new emoji that you’ll see on your device in 2027. One new emoji is the pickle, which could claim the eggplant’s crown as the go-to emoji for male anatomy.
Here are the nine new emoji you’ll see on your phone next year:
- A cracking face
- A leftward thumb sign gesture
- A rightward thumb sign gesture
- A monarch butterfly
- A pickle
- A lighthouse
- A meteor
- An eraser
- A net with a handle
The Unicode Consortium originally proposed a squinty face emoji in 2025. However, the Unicode Emoji Standard & Research Working Group recommended changing that emoji to a cracking face in January.
Honestly, the cracking face emoji feels more relevant to today than the squinty face emoji. The squinty face comes across as suspicious while the cracking face emoji screams, “I’m putting on a brave face in these trying times.” If that’s not the most relatable sentiment these days, I don’t know what is.
While the Unicode Consortium approved these emoji, companies like Apple, Google and Samsung will still need to design and then implement their versions of the emoji. Those companies usually add the emoji to devices as part of a software update in the spring, so you likely won’t see these emoji on your phone until 2027.
If you have an idea for an emoji, the Unicode Consortium will begin fielding proposals for the next round of new emoji in 2027. Anyone can submit an idea for a new emoji, and the Unicode Consortium usually uploads proposed new emoji to a public document late in the year. For example, the upcoming emoji were originally accepted in October, 2025.
