Expressive Food Emojis

Unicode Consortium is Aiming to Add Several More Meal Graphics

— November 13, 2015 — Tech
While Apple just released a slew of freshly updated emojis with the release of the latest iOs software update, allegedly Unicode Consortium is already evaluating several new food emojis that were left out to add to the visual keyboard. The already on-going discussion to add new graphics is a testament to how frequently pop culture, slang and popular phrases are changing and how consumers are demanding their visual language be kept up to speed.

According to the Unicode Consortium, there are currently 74 new emoji candidates being evaluated for selection -- with the number subject to change as designs pass or are taken out of the running. A few food emojis the firm has released that are in the running include a glass of milk, a kiwi, a peanut, a stack of pancakes and an egg. The new emojis are set to debut in early 2016.
Trend Themes
1. Food Emojis - The growing demand for food emojis highlights the need for businesses to incorporate visual language into their communication strategies.
2. Pop Culture Influence - The frequent changes in pop culture and slang emphasize the opportunity for businesses to stay relevant by incorporating trendy emojis into their marketing campaigns.
3. Visual Language - The rise of visual communication calls for businesses to explore innovative ways of utilizing expressive emojis to connect with consumers on a deeper level.
Industry Implications

2. Technology - The integration of food emojis into visual keyboards creates opportunities for technology companies to develop emoji-related applications and enhance user experiences.
3. Marketing and Advertising - The evolving landscape of emojis in popular culture opens up avenues for marketing and advertising professionals to incorporate these symbols into branding strategies.
