The Unicode Consortium is set to release Unicode 17.0 this fall, featuring a new "Hairy Creature" emoji. While many in North America may recognize this as Bigfoot, Unicode aims for globally relevant nomenclature, acknowledging the creature's various names worldwide, such as yowie, yeti, and others. The update will include other new emoji options. This decision reflects Unicode's commitment to inclusivity and avoiding region-specific terms, ensuring the emoji resonates across diverse cultures and languages.
