New Emojis: What Characters Would You Add?

A breastfeeding woman, a vomiting smiley and a zombie are coming to your keyboard. What else would you add?

NEW YORK, NY — You never knew you needed them, but they're coming soon: Emojis showing a woman breastfeeding, a man doing yoga, a vomiting smiley, a Zebra, a person wearing a headscarf, a zombie and more.

We know what you're thinking. "How have I lived without these emojis for this long?" you ask, "and how can I possibly wait until later this year when Apple will release them?"

We feel your pain. But they'll be here soon enough. Until they're ready to be released, however, you can enjoy looking at them below. (For more national stories, subscribe to the Across America Patch and receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

In the meantime, we at Patch want to ask: What other emoji would you add? Perhaps an amoeba emoji? A ski lift? A lizard person peeking out from behind a human mask?

Or maybe we should look to ancient myths for inspiration. Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill? Icarus flying too close to the sun?
