Included in a blog post are Apple’s spin on some of the most talked about emoji from Unicode 10.0, including woman with headscarf, breastfeeding mom, exploding emoji head, and mythical creatures like zombies and elves.

Here are a few more emoji you should expect to see on Apple devices in the coming months, including the upcoming iPhone 8:
