He who must not be named: Bigfoot 'Hairy Creature' emoji coming soon
You'll soon be able to include a Bigfoot emoji in your chats — even if the organization behind it won't call it that.
Unicode announced that a "Hairy Creature" emoji will be among the new additions to its standard emoji options when it releases Unicode 17 in September. Here is the full list of emoji that'll be included in the release.
Trombone
Treasure Chest
Distorted Face
Hairy Creature
Fight Cloud
Apple Core
Orca
Ballet Dancers
Here's what the emoji look like.

As Engadget noted, Unicode — the nonprofit that creates an emoji standard — might call it "Hairy Creature" because it wants the name to be understood globally, where Bigfoot might not be the preferred nomenclature. All eight emoji were among the expected additions for 2025, though a landslide emoji seemingly did not make the cut.
So, soon enough, your chats can officially have a "Hairy Creature" or a Bigfoot — whatever you want to call it.
