The presence of mosques, synagogues and churches representing the great religions of humanity is notable.
We are not forgetting a huge number of objects such as foras, daggers, a barrel of oil, chains or a file, which they can well substitute words in conversations, and all sorts of symbols that save typing time. However, the expansion of variations of couples and families that these emoticons now represent, where there is room for homosexual families, is more noteworthy. with one or two children, including all gender possibilities.
This is such a generous collection that WhatsApp has been forced to rearrange it. Thus, along with the new emoticons, it is possible to find a new tab bar that separates this collection by themesSomething that makes it easier to move through all of them without getting too lost.

Now, after learning about the latest collection of Unicode candidates, which will be approved this summer, you may soon find out that you don't have the icon of the paella (paellaemoji) or the unicornio We'll have to keep waiting.
