It's official, emoji have taken over. No text, email or WhatsApp worth reading includes less than three of the little blighters anymore, but we want more.
Yes, 72 official new emoji are heading to your iPhone having been approved by the emoji police - the Unicode Consortium - but that's still not enough. Even with the likes of face palm, selfie, bacon and even Harambe emoji all waiting for their chance to shine, there are plenty of others still missing.
These are the missing emoji we want right now.
1. HIPSTER EMOJI
Twiddle your moustache and button that second-hand shirt right up to the top, the Hipster emoji is coming and he's riding a fixie. This would of course have to be an ethically produced, soya emoji for use exclusively on the iPhone. Oh, they'll love the irony.
2. HUNGER GAMES SALUTE EMOJI
What to Read Next
We're with you Katniss, if only we could show it. Down with the Capitol, up with three fingers and that mind-numbingly addictive tune.
3. LIGHTSABER EMOJI
Twitter got one to play with, so why can't we? Until the Lightsaber emoji jumps across to all platforms, we're going to have to continue sending a stick, a traffic light and writing 'swoosh' - these are very much not the droids (sorry, emoji) we were looking for.
4. YOU'RE DUMPED EMOJI
The only easier way of breaking up with someone than text - folded arms, eye-rolling, scowling emoji? Pointing girl emoji, door, sad boy emoji? OK, so we're still working on the design, but as soon as we've mastered it, we really need to talk...
5. HARRY POTTER EMOJI
With GSCE and A-Level results having recently been handed out across the land, a Harry Potter emoji is the only way to celebrate your Hogwarts acceptance letter. Emojius-creatius!
6. HIGH-FIVE EMOJI
There're plenty of emoji that make do as high-five alternatives, but not the real thing. Thumbs-up, handshakes and fist bumps are all either there or on their way, so why can't we share emoji greetings like bros, bro?
7. BIG BUTT EMOJI
Kim K almost broke the internet with her rump rumpus; this would surely help finish the job. Until then, this provocative peach will have to do.
8. ROAST DINNER EMOJI
If Americans get burgers, Italians get pizza and Asia gets noodles, we want the staple British meal recreated in emoji form. How else are we going to share with the world what we're eating when Instagram's down?
9. TYRION LANNISTER EMOJI
Feeling dastardly? Forget the smirking smiley, we're going full-on Game of Thrones with this.
10. NEEGAN EMOJI
You want to call you mate a prick, we get it, they can be a prick. Sometimes words, or a middle finger emoji, aren't enough though. That's where Neegan comes in. If comparing your mate to the Baseball bat-wielding, Glen-killing, remorse-lacking Walking Dead baddy won't give them the hint you think they're a bit of a dick, nothing will.
11. VIRTUAL REALITY SMILEY
In 15 years' time when we're all sat around ogling a digital recreation of the world already around us, we're going to want our emoji to follow suit. And hey, it couldn't look any worse than that Palmer Luckey Time cover.
12. #NOFILTER EMOJI
Please, put an end to the most irritating hashtag of all time; replace it with the most irritating emoji instead.
13. HUNGOVER EMOJI
When words are too much of an effort, your head is pounding and moving your finger more than once will cause last night's 14 Jagerbombs to make an unwanted reappearance, there's only one emoji we should be turning to, quietly.
14. GINGER EMOJI
With the world of emoji having recently gone on an ethnically, culturally and sexually diverse binge, our red-headed - sorry, strawberry blonde (eye roll emoji) - friends are the only minority group overlooked in Pictionary form. Let's sign the petition and right that wrong.
15. AVENGERS EMOJI
With the full range of emotions in one set of loveable characters - Hulk: angry, Captain America: noble, Iron Man: smug - the likes of smiley poo, heart eyes and tongue out smiley would never get a look-in again.
16. CUPCAKE EMOJI
How has this not happened? The humble, delicious cupcake has been shunned, but we need you, not only for our emoji-based shopping lists, but to show the world our love for the Great British Bakeoff.
17. MIC-DROP EMOJI
This argument is over and there's only one way to show it - no, not mature concession, the mic drop emoji. This is how we're ending every WhatsApp chat - and article - from now on. Boom, we out.
