Default Android 16 DP2 adds support for 7 new emoji from Unicode 16.0
  • Google just released Android 16 DP2, and it includes support for 7 new emoji.
  • The new emoji include a face with bags under the eyes, a fingerprint, a harp, and more.
  • These 7 emoji are part of the Unicode 16.0 release.

Google has just shipped the second developer preview of Android 16, and it delivers a whole host of new developer features. On the user side, though, there don’t appear to be a lot of new changes visible in DP2, at least not as far as we can tell. However, there’s at least one fun new feature we spotted while digging through the update: support for the 7 new emoji from Unicode 16.0.

Android 16 DP2 includes an updated emoji font file with 7 new emoji that are part of Unicode 16.0. Unicode, if you aren’t aware, is the universal text encoding standard that assigns unique numbers to every character, symbol, and script used in written communication. It’s what allows computers — even those running different operating systems — to understand and display text in virtually any language. Emoji like the melting face and upside-down smile are also codified in the Unicode standard, enabling them to be shared between devices running different operating systems or browsers.
