1. Face With Monocle

When I first checked out the new emojis back in March, the pretzel came in at No. 1. But now that I actually have the new characters on my phone, I'm revising my ranking to put monocle man in first place. I'm not sure how much I'll use this little guy, but he sure is cute.

Syracuse fans have been in need of an orange heart for years. While we've made do with the orange fruit emoji, an orange heart is about to take our fandom to the next level.

4. I Love You Hand Sign

4. I Love You Hand Sign

This sign-language symbol for "I love you" is not only heart-warming, it's useful. It'll save you from typing out those eight letters, and it gives you a nice alternative to sending hearts and hug emojis to your loved ones. Hopefully this is the first of many ASL symbols added to emoji.
