Since the dawn of emoji but a few years ago, a gaping hole in your ‘recently used’ has been burning through your iPhone and spirit alike: hell hath no fury like seeing 12 different emojis for trains, and absolutely ZERO for tacos. Perhaps the first world’s most trivial problem, but a bloody problem nonetheless.
What does one even text on Taco Tuesday? This, tbh.
Following public outcry (in the form of you, yelling at your phone, and a change.org petition in its honour) Unicode Consortium, the mysterious face of emoji—whose unwieldy power has gone to their heads, over the years—charged with approving new additions to the language, have officially announced 37 new emoji additions, to be released this year. The most important addition, arguably, being a MF taco. After all this time. 
Other additions include:
Bottle With Popping Cork * Burrito * Cheese Wedge * Hot Dog * Popcorn * Taco * Turkey * Unicorn Face * Badminton Racquet * Cricket Bat And Ball * Field Hockey Stick And Ball * Ice Hockey Stick And Puck * Table Tennis Paddle And Ball * Volleyball * Upside-Down Face * Face With Rolling Eyes * Zipper-Mouth Face * Money-Mouth Face * Face With Thermometer * Nerd Face * Thinking Face * Face With Head-Bandage * Robot Face * Hugging Face * Sign Of The Horns * Amphora * Crab * Bow And Arrow * Lion Face * Scorpion * Prayer Beads * Kaaba * Mosque * Synagogue * Menorah With Nine Branches * Place Of Worship
Champagne? CHEESE? UNICORNS? Merry freaking Christmas, ya filthy animals.
Meanwhile, Christopher Pyne has revealed his favourite emoji, laying claim over the whole language, and attempting to be a fellow kid: “My emoji has two dancing girls, and they’re very good fun.” At least you tried, mate.
Add today’s updated list to one which was released earlier this year (ft. avocado, bacon, shrug) and you’ve got yourself an extensive lil language on your hands.
Victory is ours.
