We welcome sponsors of the new characters to join existing sponsors like Elastic in helping to further the work of the Unicode Consortium.
The emoji charts have also been updated with these new emoji, and with new images from Messenger, EmojiOne, EmojiXpress, and others. Soon after Unicode 9.0 is released, the other new Unicode 9.0 characters will be available for adoption.
