New emojis are all about individuality (and a little frivolity) | Learn English phrase ‘hop on’
Plain English
Shownotes Transcript
Fifty-nine new emojis were approved in 2019 and the main theme is individuality. Emojis that allow you to express a disability include a hearing aid, a person with a guide dog, and a prosthetic leg. You can also show people holding hands (in a variety of skin tones and genders). Eastern culture is represented with a Hindu temple, a sari, and even an auto-rickshaw. And what would we do without the yawning face or the flamingo? Plus, learn the English phrase “hop on.”
