22 New Emoji That Are Apparently More Important Than A Taco

You’ve already heard that we’re getting new emoji. Which is great! It’s so great. That much richer a vocabulary to transcribe Tori Amos songs with! I am loath to complain about this critical communication breakthrough for all people laying in their beds trying to describe the depth and magnitude of their hangover without using words, but I have to, because there is still no taco emoji. (I realize that likeness to our lived experience isn’t really the point of emoji, but my point stands.) (There also isn’t a spoon emoji despite there being MULTIPLE knife and fork emojis, which makes it seem like they just don’t want me to text about spooning, but that’s a story for another day.) I cannot be the only person for whom the lack of a taco emoji has gotten DIRE. But that’s ok — with roughly 250 new emoji, there must be some real winners in there, right? Stuff that’s WAY more important than tacos. Right? Or — oh. Oh, okay. Well.
