Our emoji keyboards are Just a Strangerever-expanding, as the pictograph language continues to evolve and become more and more inclusive of all users.
Up until this point, any emoji featuring two or more people has only been available in the default emoji yellow on iOS. But that's about to change, and we have dating app Tinder to thank for that.
SEE ALSO: We're getting a period emoji and it's bloody brilliant newsThe Unicode Consortium — the gatekeepers of all emoji — will be adding a range of people-holding-hands emoji with a mix of genders and skin colours, following Tinder's #representlove campaign.
The interracial couples emoji look like this, and they are pretty damn cute. We got the first look at all 230 emoji coming in 2019 earlier this year, but Unicode is now releasing the final designs, including the new couple emoji.

"Isn’t it time all love was represented?" Tinder wrote in the petition, that got over 50,000 signatures over the course of a year.
Tinder's reason for getting involved was, per their own statement, that online dating has facilitated an increase in interracial dating and marriages, according to a global Tinder study.
CMO of Tinder Jenny Campbell said in a statement sent to Mashable that she is proud of the fact the company has helped interracial couples get more visual representation.
"Tinder advocates for the freedom of people to live how they want to live and love who they want to love," Campbell said in the statement.
"The success of our Interracial Couple Emoji campaign shows how powerful the voices are of the more than 50,000 people who joined our cause by signing our petition; together, we effected change."
Go out there and spread the emoji love.
