ðŸ´â˜ ï¸ Pirate Flag
Of the new emojis listed in Emoji 11.0, the infinity symbol[3] is already a Unicode character and displays as an emoji on Samsung devices. Other devices may already display a black and white glyph for this character.
The Pirate Flag emoji is a ZWJ Sequence that is already supported by Twitter's open source emoji project Twemoji, and will display as a 🴠Black Flag and â˜ ï¸ Skull and Crossbones on unsupported platforms.
Release
Regarding today's announcement, Unicode president Mark Davis told Emojipedia:
“The emoji list being announced today is final, so that vendors can start work on this year's emoji. We'll release the final specification for Emoji 11 in synchrony with the Unicode 11 release, targeted in June. Users can expect to see support for these new emoji rolling out in the second half of 2018.”
If past releases are anything to go by, some companies such as Twitter or EmojiOne may add these emojis soon after June, and larger players like Apple and Google tend to save their updates for major OS releases in September or October.
Versioned as Emoji 11.0, this emoji release is the version that follows Emoji 5.0. The reason for the jump in version number is to align emoji releases with full releases of the Unicode Standard from 2019. A recently published timeline document shows Emoji 12.0 and Unicode 12.0 both aligning for release in March 2019.
While today marks when the emoji list for 2018 is final, the specication for Emoji 11.0 is still a draft. Reversible emojis are still listed in the latest version of the specification, although no sequences for which emojis should change direction have been specified. As such, this feature would likely not be seen on devices until (potentially) 2019.
