I’ve got something to look forward to in 2020, it seems.

The Unicode Consortium has announced 117 new emojis for this year, which run the gamut from a ninja to blueberries to a seal to an elevator.

Helpfully, Emojipedia, which I learned is an actual thing that exists, has the power rankings for the most anticipated and the least anticipated of the new emoji crop.

Most Anticipated

  1. pinched fingers Mafia don gesture
  2. the transgender flag
  3. the smiling face with tears
  4. bubble tea
  5. an anatomically correct heart

Least Anticipated

  1. the elevator
  2. a sign on a wooden post
  3. a bucket
  4. a screwdriver
  5. a hook

I’m just going to say it now: The screwdriver emoji will not be used to indicated fixing things.
