Unicode Releases New Gender-Inclusive Emoji

The Unicode Consortium announced new gender-inclusive and gender-neutral emoji, including Mx Claus and characters in tuxedos and wedding dresses. The Emoji 13.0 update introduces 65 new emoji, such as a transgender pride flag and a polar bear. Emojipedia released sample images, but platforms like iOS and Android may use different versions. Unicode released samples early to allow vendors time for coding, with updates typically appearing in the fall.
