Everyone loves good emoji , am I right , sept ?

Well , we ’re get a light batting order of expressive characters in the outgoing Emoji 13.1 , which will arrive sometime in 2021 . There are 217 in aggregate , but 210expand on tegument tonevariations for subsist emoji . That means there are just seven new emojis good for a ranking .

Because rank is something we do here — as we have forsextingand merelyfor the hell of it — so , too , shall this thin offer of emoji be range .

7. Face in clouds

PerUnicode , this emoji is meant to represent the land of being “ absentminded . ” Get your head out of the cloud , cockamamie goose ! Do your homework ! Call your mom ! But I ’ll be honest , I notice this emoji to be deeply upsetting . The representation of a dead - eyed , smirk - less face star at me from behind a wall of white fluff does not impart a impression of safety and security . Get out of the clouds , sure , but also the hell away from me , pal !

6. Face with spiral eyes

grant to Unicode , this expression is meant to impart a whole orbit of emotion , include “ dizzy , ” “ hypnotized , ” spiral , ” “ problem , ” and “ whoa . ” In other words , this could be an emoji for a especially transfixing TikTok or a taking into custody - all internal representation of your general attitude toward anything happen during our collective Year from Hell . It ’s a select - your - own - escapade emoji , and I personally welcome the chaos of attempt to decipher what it means when direct with perfectly zero context .

6. Mending heart

This bound philia emoji is really quite dainty — an emoji case to impart wellness . It can convey “ sizable , ” “ ameliorate , ” “ fix , ” “ mending heart , ” “ recover , ” “ go back , ” and simply “ well . ” These are all good thing ! ( None of which I can presently relate to . )

4. Person with beard

What ’s not to like here ? This is very good ! To quote senior consumer technology editor in chief Alex Cranz , “ they are the Chris Evans in a sweater in a cabin with a Yankee candle of emojis . ”

3. Woman with beard

Again , love it ! These emoji case appear like they give great squeeze !

2. Face exhaling

Here it is , reader . The “ this is me ” of emoji . The nitty-gritty of “ I am so fucking tired of this shit ” side . This is an emoji that says “ I need a nap , and candidly a long one . ” Technically this emoji also represent “ whistle , ” but I ’m confident we all know what it ’s really enjoin .

1. Heart on fire

It was apparently a tough call for the number one spot — so many near emojis with this update . But god , it really took them long enough ! We finally have an emoji to accurately represent pyrosis , people ! Ascorbic acid ? Fried and fat foods ? Onions and coffee ? It ’s your time to shine , my friends . ( There may be other meanings related to “ love ” or “ lust ” or something . Whatever . )

While there could only be one winner in the list above , all these emoji are winner in our fiery , burn hearts .
