- Samsung’s One UI 5 update will bring support for Unicode 15 before Android 13.
- Samsung is also finally providing support for Unicode 14.
- The emojis in Unicode 14 came out in 2021.
Samsung is finally rolling out the stable version of its Android 13-based One UI 5 update to its phones. With that update will come support for Unicode 15. This means Samsung’s phones will be the first Android phones to have the latest emojis. Ironically, it will also be one of the last remaining Android phones to finally adopt the group of emojis that came out in 2021.
Back in September, Emojipedia announced a new batch of emojis were coming our way through the latest version of the Unicode Standard — a consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text — called Unicode 15. With it would come 31 new emojis including things like a shaking face, a jellyfish, a hair pick, and more.
