The Unicode Consortium has officially announced Unicode 10. The new version adds 8,518 characters including 56 new emoji characters, a set of four new scripts, and new symbols. Currently, the standard consists of a whopping total of 136,690 characters.
Aside from adding support for lesser-used languages, the Unicode Consortium included a Bitcoin sign. The most popular cryptocurrency's symbol was not supported and therefore referred to as BTC.
Below you can see all emojis soon to be included in products from Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Samsung.
Emojipedia prepared a video with all 69 emojis introduced this year.

The final emoji list for 2017 was announced in March. Vendors have had a few months to prepare for which emojis are upcoming in the next release. Google already added some of the new emojis in the Android O preview images. Upcoming software releases should include full support of Unicode 10.0.
