The ability to create personalized graphical representations of emotions and ideas on Apple’s mobile operating system is anticipated in a future software update. These user-generated icons would extend the expressive capabilities currently available through standard Unicode characters and Memoji.

The inclusion of tailored imagery within digital conversations allows for the conveyance of highly specific feelings or concepts not easily articulated through existing standardized sets. Historically, the evolution of digital communication has continually striven for richer and more personalized expression.
