The ‘Ice Hockey Stick and Puck’ Emoji Has Been Approved in Unicode 8

11 years ago

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.

The full Unicode 8 emoji approval list is below:

There’s no timetable on when Apple will add them to iOS, but from what we’ve seen they’ve been pretty good at including newly approved Emojis quickly (ie Canadian flag)
