Ska heads have been waiting for this: A trombone emoji is imminent. The Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit foundation that upholds the Unicode Standard, announced the approved 2025 list of emoji. Other approved emoji from Unicode 17.0 include ballet dancers, a fight cloud, a landslide, an Orca, a Treasure Chest, a distorted face, a Hairy Creature (Bigfoot), and an Apple Core. Not into the Bigfoot-trombone power combo? I’m not sure how, but the apple core will help us keep BRAT summer alive.
