9 most random new emoji and how to use them

Some of the new emoji are so random.

The number of new emoji is overstated since a quarter of them are skin tone variations of the same standard handshake. There are new faces, gestures, and objects that are truly an eclectic mix of moods and vibes, from a biting lip at 3 a.m. to an empty jar that seems a little too ominous.

Here are some of the strangest new symbols and how you can use them.

Troll

This one was slayed by the Unicode Consortium. I can already see him being used to signal a vibe shift into goblin mode, as he is joining the growing ranks of the fantasy emoji squad. Have you left the house in a while? Adding the troll emoji is a self aware nod to your current state of mind.

If that opportunity presents itself to you, he can be used in that way.

Lip bite

The lip bite is a great way to express your inner Lin-Manuel Miranda and Debby Ryan. You might know Miranda from famous works like Encanto, and Broadway's Hamilton, but his most significant contribution to society was this selfie in which he bites his lip. This selfie has become synonymous with suggestive lip biting for the extremely online, making an already risky facial expression all the more embarrassing.

Another meme you can evoke with the lip bite is the clip of former Disney Channel star Debby Ryan, who tucked her hair back behind her ear and stared upward into the camera. Ryan is not biting her lip, but she has big lip-biting energy.

If you don't know about the meme, you can use the lip bite to put your hat on. It can be used to replace the winky face that might accompany messages.

Disco ball

I smell a hit. It can be used in a more emotional way, like spicing up a party invite or adding a playful flair to an caption, but it is not self-explanatory. For those of you who are not of the Swiftie persuasion, the song "mirrorball" is an introspective track. To describe her desire to entertain others, how delicate she is, and how she reflects the people around her, she compares herself to a mirrorball. The gravitas is obvious.

Next time you feel like a mirrorball, use the disco ball emoji. This is one of the rare things that is cuter on the web.

The Swifties are not the only people who benefit from the update. Finger hearts, as shown by touching your thumb and index, have been a staple of Korean entertainment for years, and now that love is easier to convey than ever before.

Slide

It is easy to use it to add a playful tone when sliding into someone's messages.

Pouring liquid

Do you not cry over spilt juice? Wine? Is it blood? We might as well use it now that it is in our arsenal. There is an ominous tone to the empty cup pouring out a suspiciously colored liquid, so you could use it to convey how drained you are. It is a modern symbol for the modern era.

Empty jar

You can use an emoji to invite your crush to catch firefly. For maximum romantic effect, pair it with the sparkle emoji. If you send a text and listen to Fireflies, you will get bonus points.
