The new Emoji 11.0 <http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/11.0/> set is
fixed and final, and includes the data needed for vendors to begin
working on their emoji fonts and code ahead of the release of Unicode
11.0, scheduled for June 2018. The new emoji typically start showing up
on mobile phones in August or September.

The man and woman emoji can now have various hair styles (red-haired,
curly-haired, white-haired, and bald), and the new superhero and
supervillain support genders and skin tones. The new leg and foot also
support skin tones.

The new emoji are listed in Emoji Recently Added v11.0
<http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/emoji-released.html>, with
sample images. These images are just samples: vendors for mobile phones,
PCs, and web platforms will typically use images that fit their overall
emoji designs. In particular, the Emoji Ordering v11.0
<http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/emoji-ordering.html> chart
shows how the new emoji sort compared to the others, with new emoji
marked with rounded-rectangles. The other Emoji Charts for Version 11.0
<http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/index.html> have been updated
to show the emoji.

The version number for this release of Unicode emoji is jumping from the
previously-released Emoji 5.0 to Emoji 11.0 (instead of 6.0) — starting
with this release, the version number for emoji is synchronized with the
corresponding version number of the Unicode Standard.

To be considered for emoji 12.0, new emoji proposals
<http://www.unicode.org/emoji/selection.html> must be submitted before
the end of March 2018. This schedule is to align with the 2019 release
of the Unicode Standard.
