“There are also 55 gender and skin-tone variants, including new gender-inclusive emoji,” the Consortium said on its blog.

The gender-inclusive emoji will include a man feeding a baby, a person in a tuxedo and a ninja.

According to the Consortium, the Emoji 13.0 will begin rolling out on platforms in September this year.
