We're about to be treated to over 100 new emojis, and we won't even need to use words once this lot hit our smartphones.

The new selection, announced by Unicode Consortium, features a whopping 117 emojis, including a transgender flag, 'feeding the baby', a dodo, blueberries and a mammoth.

There's also a 'smiling face with a tear' to use when you're feeling emotional, but for all the right reasons.

As well as a 'disguised face' and a pinched finger emoji - which is getting a *lot* of hype online already - there's also a stylish plotted pant and a mystical black cat emoji.

Speaking of fur babies, there's a huge selection of new animal emojis set for 2020. We're talking a polar bear, beaver and even a mammoth.

Other cute characters include a seal and there's also a collection of insects including cockroaches and a beetle.

The food emojis have also had a total makeover. Smartphone users now have blueberries, olives, flatbread and even a bubble tea emoji at the touch of a button - and we've got a feeling they're going to go down very well.

Our already-existing emoji libraries are also having a revamp.

One person was very happy about the tamale emoji, tweeting: "A tamale emoji?! I'm here for that!"

Unicode Consortium - who is responsible for choosing the emojis for Apple and Android devices - are yet to reveal when we can expect the emojis, but hopefully it will be soon.

We personally can't wait to test these bad boys out!
