Remember all those times you wanted to tell someone you were actually an Italian ninja who fights beavers with a boomerang while sipping bubble tea? Well, on iOS, you'll soon be able to say it in just five emoji characters.

Apple has revealed some of the new emojis it plans to bring to iOS this year, and Emojipedia has the rundown.
