The Unicode Consortium has released Unicode 8.0, which includes 37 new emojis, which includes missing sports symbols such as the ice hockey stick and puck. This means hockey-mad Canadians can soon look forward to sending this emoji once the likes of Apple, Google and Microsoft bring updates to support it.
