The Unicode Consortium has officially announced Unicode 10. The new version adds 8,518 characters including 56 new emoji characters, a set of four new scripts, and new symbols. Currently, the standard consists of a whopping total of 136,690 characters.
Aside from adding support for lesser-used languages, the Unicode Consortium included a Bitcoin sign. The most popular cryptocurrency’s symbol was not supported and therefore referred to as BTC.
Below you can see all emojis soon to be included in products from Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Samsung.
