Disclosure: I own a small number of shares in Apple stock.
About five months ago, Apple released iOS 8.3 with racially diverse emoji. When Apple iOS 9.1 is released, it will include many more highly anticipated emoji characters. The new emoji are based on 41 characters included in the Unicode 8.0 update, which have 37 new emojis and 5 emoji modifiers.
Nearly every category has new emoji added. The new emoji includes: hugging face, thinking face, face with rolling eyes, zipper-mouth face, nerd face, upside-down face, face with thermometer, face with head-bandage, money-mouth face, sign of the horns, prayer beads, robot face, lion face, unicorn face, turkey, crab, scorpion, cheese wedge, hot dog, taco, burrito, popcorn, bottle with popping cork, amphora, place of worship, kaaba, mosque, synagogue, Menorah with nine branches, cricket bat and ball, volleyball, field hockey stick and ball, ice hockey stick and puck, table tennis paddle and ball, badminton racquet and shuttlecock and bow and arrow. It also has an offensive middle finger emoji with different skin tones that was included in Windows 10 first.
These emoji are already included in a special iOS 9.1 beta uploaded for developers with paid accounts, according to TheNextWeb. However, it is expected to be released to the public within the next couple of months. The first major iteration of iOS 9 will be released on September 16th.
