Here's What Google Did on World Emoji Day

World Emoji Day was on July 17th. Google took the opportunity to announce an expansion of its Emoji Kitchen platform, while also previewing a new Emoji Kitchen effect coming soon to YouTube Shorts.

Emoji Kitchen enables users to create mash-ups of different emoji characters, essentially combining them into new emoji.

And now on World Emoji Day, Google’s bringing Emoji Kitchen to Search, so you can create your own mutant emoji within its search engine.

In the words of Google –

“Type “emoji kitchen” in the Search bar and smash “Get cooking.” Starting today, you’ll see a pop-up with two tabs: a “combine” tab where you can mix any two individual emoji of your choosing, and a new “explore” tab where you can select any single emoji and see how it would combine with any other single emoji. Browse the “recipes” for some inspiration!”

YouTube Shorts is also getting an Emoji Kitchen update, with an emoji mash-up effect coming soon.

“As part of the Unicode 16.0 release, there will be seven new additions in total: a fingerprint, leafless tree, harp, splat, face with bags under eyes, shovel and root vegetable. These new emoji will be available as a web font in both color and monochrome this September, on Android phones by March 2025 and in your favorite Google products in early 2025.”

Nothing major, but interesting updates on World Emoji Day.
