Fedora 23 Is Planning For Unicode 8.0

With Unicode 8.0 having been released last week, Fedora developers are planning on incorporating it into Fedora 23.

Unciode 8.0 has 41 new emojis, 5,771 new ideographs for Chinese/Japanese/Korean, and many other additions. Among the new emojis are a nerd face, robot face, unicorn face, lion face, and more. There's also now emojis for a hot dog, taco, popcorn, and cheese wedge. More details on the Unicode 8 changes via the Unicode blog.

Fedora's "beefy miracle" hot dogs can now be represented by an emoji with Unicode 8.0.

It's a very straight-forward change for adding Unicode 8.0 for Fedora 23 as outlined via the change proposal. More than likely this change to incorporate Unicode 8.0 will be approved without any issues.
