108 new emoji expected to become part of iOS 17 — eventually

This year there are a total of 108 new emojis being considered, including variations for skin color and gender. The list also includes what are called directional versions, including “Person Running Facing Right.”

In practice, once a proposed emoji has reached the approvals process, it’s rare for them to be rejected. Then once the Unicode Consortium formally approves new emoji, they will be adopted by technology firms such as Apple, and included in an update to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
