Apple users can add “woman with headscarf,” “zombie” and “bearded person” to their messages later this year, according to a preview released Monday.
The company has recently shifted toward a more universal and diverse digital representation of people and expressions in its emoji line, including a 2016 update that saw gender options added for single-parent families, as well as female athletes and professionals.
This is in addition to added representation of LGBTQ couples in 2012 and a skin color classification system implemented in 2015.
The latest update also includes expanded smiley faces that can convey emotions and behaviors like “mind-blown” and “vomiting.” Take a look for yourself.
