New non-RGI emoji supported by iOS 14.5 #4

Closed mathiasbynens closed 3 years ago

mathiasbynens commented 3 years ago

iOS 14.5 apparently supports some new non-RGI emoji (although they’re not included in the emoji picker): https://blog.emojipedia.org/ios-14-5-emoji-changelog/#evenmorecouples

Beyond Unicode's RGI (Recommended for General Interchange) list, Apple has also implemented the following:

  • A couple emoji can include 🧑 Person + 👩 Woman, or 🧑 Person + 👨 Man. In Unicode's list, a gender inclusive person emoji can only be paired with a second gender-inclusive person.
  • A couple emoji can include one Person, Woman or Man with a neutral yellow skin tone, shown in combination with a Person, Woman or Man that has a realistic skin tone. In Unicode's list, realistic skin tones are not shown alongside the default yellow option.
  • Any of the above combinations are permitted in any order. For example, this is a standard Unicode emoji: 👩‍❤️‍👨 Couple with Heart: Woman, Man, but the opposite pairing is 👨‍❤️‍👩 Couple With Heart: Man, Woman is also supported in this release, despite being non-standard.[3]
  • […]
  • The same applies to the very-similar 💏 Kiss emoji which also has the same set of new options, both standard and non-standard.

I’m not sure how accurate this is though, as it’s based on processing the emoji grid on https://emojipedia.org/apple/ios-14.5/new/ which contains more emoji than Emojipedia claims have been added 🤔
