High fives, colourful hearts and a shaking face are some of the contenders for new emojis.
Emojipedia has compiled a list along with sample images containing 31 draft emojis for Emoji 15.0, which will be unveiled in September and is reported to be released later this year.
While there’s always the chance the draft emojis could change between now and then, based on the history of past releases it seems as though most, if not, all, will make it through.
Other contenders include a wireless emoji, a baby blue and light pink heart, as well as new animals and plants.
This includes new mammals, birds and even a jellyfish emoji. There’s also a moose face, goose, donkey, black bird and a wing. Hyacinth, ginger and pea pods could also be on the way.
Fans of Latin music are in for a treat as maracas could appear. There’s also a hair pick and a Khanda — the symbol of the Sikh faith.
In total, there are 31 recommended emojis for Emoji 15, which is significantly less than the 112 recommendations in 2021 and the 334 in 2020.
“This is our eighth year of providing sample emoji designs ahead of their official arrival on emoji keyboards. Actual vendor designs will vary from those released by major vendors, and Emojipedia's own sample images may also be updated when Emoji 15.0 final is released,” says Emojipedia.
“Additionally, as this is only a draft emoji list, each emoji is subject to change prior to final approval in September 2022. However, it is worth noting the majority of draft emoji candidates have ended up included on the final list over the last number of years — including every emoji we previewed from last year's Emoji 14.0 draft list ahead of World Emoji Day 2021.”
Last year's Emoji 14.0 included the addition of a melting face, a hand with the index and middle fingers crossed and hand hearts.

Managing the separation process
- Choose your nursery carefully in the first place
- Relax – and hopefully your child will follow suit
- Inform the staff in advance of your child’s likes and dislikes.
- If you need some extra time to talk to the teachers, make an appointment a few days in advance, rather than attempting to chat on your child’s first day
- The longer you stay, the more upset your child will become. As difficult as it is, walk away. Say a proper goodbye and reassure your child that you will be back
- Be patient. Your child might love it one day and hate it the next
- Stick at it. Don’t give up after the first day or week. It takes time for children to settle into a new routine.And, finally, don’t feel guilty.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
