Google wants you to combine the 3,521 emoticons to create over 14,000

Combine, create, emoticons, Google

Every now and then the Unicode standard updates a pack of emojis with representations that are inclusive and with which more and more cultures feel identified. As of today, there are 3,521 official emojis. However, this number remains low in front of a new possibility offered by Google, with its tool Kitchen Emoji.

Some of the possible combinations with Emoji Kitchen and Gboard.

Although in emojis with individual representations of people, simple, food and thousands of other references, the Emoji Kitchen proposal seeks make combinations of existing emojis to create new results. In this way, it is possible to see the emoji of a globe with a mask, or the famous llama wearing sunglasses.

Let’s play with the “Emoji Kitchen”!

With Emoji Kitchen, you can combine two emojis with each other to create nothing more and nothing less than more than 14,000 new emojis. If the tool had already been known since the beginning of the year, the possibilities were then more limited. And that’s it, the designers of Google, created each combination manually, allowing to unite their representations of feelings, fruits and much more.

If curiosity tempted you, this new feature is only available in the beta version of the Google keyboard, GBoard, which can be obtained by registering an account as a tester, although it should soon reach all devices.

Depending on how early users shared to get a combination on the Google keyboard, You have to press two emojis and GBoard will show us the result automatically. But instead of sending an emoji like we usually do, a sticker will be sent.

the sticker format solves the problem that combinations don’t play well on all devices, because although emoji cooking is part of emojis, the end result is not part of the Unicode standard.

Given the early arrival of this tool What combination do you imagine?
