Emoji Version 5.0 List

Version 5.0 was released on 🐝 May 18, 2017 and contained 239 new emojis. On 🌈 June 20, 2017, Unicode added an encoding for 56 new emojis.

For the first time in Version 5.0, the emoji of fairy-tale creatures, such as 🧚 Fairies, 🧝 Elves, 🧞 Genies and others, were added. But not all mythical creatures received the support of skin tone, but only those characters who are considered as people, for example magicians. The genies, in turn, didn’t receive support for changing skin tones, since they are magical creatures. Also in the new version flags of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland and South Wales appeared.

Other versions — Emoji Version 1.0, Emoji Version 2.0, Emoji Version 3.0, Emoji Version 4.0, Emoji Version 11.0, Emoji Version 12.0, Emoji Version 12.1, Emoji Version 13.0.

As on 🌞 July 2017, there were 2,666 emoji on the official Unicode Standard list.
