Emoji 18.0
Emoji 18.0 is the emoji set released together with Unicode 18.0 in September 2026.
It adds nine new emoji — cracking face, leftwards thumb, rightwards thumb, monarch butterfly, pickle, lighthouse, meteor, eraser and net with handle — plus ten skin-tone variants of the two thumb signs. Support arrives on phones and computers gradually, as vendors ship the updated fonts.
