For all you emoji lovers, here is some good news. Now you will have 250 brand new emojis to ping or text your pals.

The Unicode Consortium has announced that version 7.0 of the Unicode Standard will be launched very soon, latest by next month, bringing in a bunch of fresh emojis to the table.

The new version will have2,834 new characters, i.e., 250 new emojis including new currency symbols for the Russian ruble and Azerbaijani manat, 23 new lesser-used and historic scripts and some more symbols.

Other interesting additions include the middle finger, shopping bags, a clamshell phone (presumably to make fun of that one friend), a reminder ribbon and a world map.

Yes, it's true! The new emojis list will have a ‘reversed hand with middle finger extended’. So the next time someone bugs you, you could just flip them off instead of hurling cuss words.

The list will also have‘now-vintage’ emojis like the good old floppy disk and a tape cartridge. It will also have computer-related peripherals like the hard disk, a wired keyboard, an old personal computer, a CD, a printer, monitor, mouse and more.
