The Unicode Consortium has finalized version 15.1 of the Unicode standard this week. Although Unicode is used to display tens of thousands of characters in languages used worldwide, the headlining change to any new version is usually about new emoji additions.
As implied by the version number, version 15.1 is a minor update to last year's 15.0 release that makes no changes to the core specification. Nevertheless, the update adds six new emoji, plus 108 new variations on people emoji (the short version: all emoji depicting someone moving rightward can now be flipped to show them moving leftward).
The new designs, as summed up by the emoji experts at Emojipedia , include shaking and nodding heads, a phoenix, a lime, an "edible mushroom," and a broken chain. Family emoji have also been updated to include options for gender-neutral parents and children.

Microsoft open-sources its cute 3D emoji, albeit without Clippy

As part of its Windows 11 design push, Microsoft also published fun redesigns for all of its emoji characters that added more character and texture than the older Windows 8- and 10-era versions. Today, the company is going one step further, open-sourcing the vast majority of these new "Fluent" emoji designs and publishing them to Github for anyone to modify and use.
Each open-sourced emoji has three iterations: the fully 3D version, complete with texture and color gradients; a flat "color" version that retains the basic color but removes textures and gradients (these are the ones you'll see if you open Windows 11's emoji menu); and a monochromatic "high contrast" version. All files are being made available as .svg vector graphics files so that they can be resized and otherwise manipulated without any loss of quality.
There are just a couple of Microsoft's designs that it hasn't open-sourced, including the paperclip that looks like Clippy (the character is apparently copyrighted). A couple of other emoji were excluded because Microsoft's versions exclude the Windows logo. There is no generic version of the paperclip emoji listed among the emoji Microsoft has published .
