Good news for millennials who communicate better in emoji-speak! Your messages are about to get 10 times more interesting with the upcoming release of Unicode 10.0.

Zombie, genie, elf, vampire, mermaid, UFO, starstruck face, cursing face, and T-Rex emojis are just a few of the interesting ones in this release.

Foodies, you might be glad to know that there is a sandwich, pretzel, meat, broccoli, chopsticks, and many other food emojis added into the mix.

This upcoming update is also socially relevant with its breastfeeding woman, person in hijab, and a few gender-inclusive (read: androgynous) emojis. Plus, they come in different skin tones, too.
