You know how it goes, you’re on your lunch break and you’ve just bought a delicious baguette, so delicious in fact, you feel compelled to text your friend to describe how good it is, but you’re busy so you go to send a baguette emoji and…there is none!

But worry no longer, because the brains behind the worldwide phenomenon that is the emoji are busy hatching plans for 67 new ones, including a baguette!

The shortlist created by a shadowy group called the Unicode Consortium, who make the final call on the pop culture hieroglyphs, will be voted on next May. 

Other highlights of the 67 candidates include: 

  • An Avocado (AN AVOCADO!)

  • A drooling face

  • A shark

  • A man in a tuxedo

  • Two strips of bacon (#breakfast)

  • A croissant

  • A potato

  • An octagonal sign (invaluable)

  • A cucumber

  • A wilted flower ( : ( )

  • A duck

A face with a cowboy hat

Once the blessed emojis have been chosen, they should be available to download from June. Imagine the uproar if the avocado doesn’t make the cut?
