I have no idea how we ever survived without being able to send someone a picture of a hedgehog or broccoli, but thank goodness, we no longer have to.
Emoji creator Unicode Consortium has announced that it will unveil 69 new symbols this summer, including a breastfeeding woman, a bearded man, a T-Rex, and a mermaid. (You know, all the important stuff.)
Other emojis of note include both a man and a woman doing yoga, a hedgehog and a zebra.
If you're one of the people who uses texting for the sole purpose of making plans involving food, additions that may be of interest to you include a fortune cookie, a dumpling, a sandwich, and for the health-conscientious, broccoli.
