22 ‘smiling cat with heart-eyes emojis’ (plus new emojis for 2023)

Here are 22 different smiling cat with heart-eyes emojis. The heart-eyes emoji expresses extreme love of something said or seen. I guess it is the emoji of choice for a cat lover who wants to say they really like something that they have seen on the internet or in a communication. They are in the public domain and can be downloaded to your desktop or to your clipboard when using a smartphone. Right click and select ‘save image as’ for desktop and press your finger against the emoji and ‘copy’ when using a smartphone. You can then paste it in the message.

By the way as these are embedded images, I can’t guarantee that they’ll stick around for ever. They might disappear and if they have, I apologise. I guess stuff on the internet has a short shelf life. Everything is speeded up on the internet.

THERE IS A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT NEW EMOJIS AS AT THE DATE OF THIS POST BELOW THE SLIDES.

Below are some pages on the ‘internet’.

A shaking face, Afro comb, jellyfish and donkey are four of the new emojis released under Emoji 15.0 which are due to be confirmed in September and which are set to appear on smartphones next year, 2023. There is a pink heart emoji which is one of three new coloured emojis. The other two are gray and light blue equivalents.

The shaking face is planned to be used to express shock or to represent excessive movement such as earth tremors according to The Times journalist James Callery.

The emojis above come from the Emojipedia website. It is part of the Unicode Consortium. This is the central bank of all approved emojis. Tomorrow is World Emoji Day.

As you can see, companies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft provide their own customised and stylised versions of the consortium’s design for their operating systems.

In all, the new list contains 31 new designs which is far smaller than normal. The emoji 14.0 released last year had a 112.
