Brace yourself, the emoji’s are coming. The symbol for your favorite cured pork product, along with 71 other characters, is coming out in the next version of Unicode. Other symbols that will be in the version 9.0 release include a soaring eagle, a salad, a shark, clinking champagne glasses, whiskey on the rocks, an egg, a pregnant woman and — particularly important for Californians — an avocado.
Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge, who’s also a member of the Unicode Consortium emoji subcommittee, said the images represent a “best guess” of what the new emojis will look like on Apple’s operating system. The names, including “shallow pan of food,” “hand with index and middle fingers crossed,” and “shopping trolley,” are final.
