Unicode's new emoji refuses to put respect on Bigfoot's name
Unicode's is adding new emoji options to its standard this fall, including what looks like a Bigfoot emoji.
It might seem strange that a consortium of companies as powerful as Apple, Google and Microsoft would practically subtweet one of North America's most famous semi-mythological creatures. To me, that's Bigfoot, plain and simple, but elsewhere in the world it might scan as a yowie, yeti, nuk-luk, hibagon, orang pendekor or an almas. Unicode 17.0 is slated to be released on September 9, 2025, but these new emoji likely won't be added to Android and iOS until a bit after the standard is updated.
