Ginger emoji are making their way to the iPhone for the first time. The red-headed characters (pictured) were announced today as part of a batch of 70 new emoji unveiled by Apple to celebrate World Emoji Day
Grey-haired, bald and curly-haired characters are joined by several new animals including a lobster, kangaroo, parrot and peacock.
Other highlights include new smileys, with a cold face, party face, pleading face and a face with hearts all featured in the latest update.
Healthy eaters will be pleased to see a selection of new fruit and vegetables made available in the latest update, including a mango and lettuce.
Apple has also added a number of sweeter items, such as a cupcake and moon cake – a traditional Chinese dessert.
Superhero characters will also be joined by an infinity sign, a tennis ball, a test tube, and even an evil eye symbol.
'More than 70 new will be coming soon to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, including new characters with red hair, gray hair and curly hair, a new emoji for bald people, more emotive smiley faces and additional emoji representing animals, sports and food,' Apple said.
'The new emoji are available in today’s developer and public beta previews of iOS 12.1, and will be available in upcoming software updates for iOS, macOS and watchOS.'
While Apple said it is introducing 70 new emoji, the total number should come closer to 150 including all the available options for gender and skin tones.

World Emoji Day is an annual event dedicated to the digital cartoons, which is currently celebrating its fourth year.
Fans shared their thoughts on social media using the #WorldEmojiDay hashtag.
Jeremy Burge, creator of World Emoji Day, said he expects the new ginger emoji to draw the most attentions from users.
Emoji are used by people all over the world to communicate. iOS 12.1 brings even more characters to the keyboard that better represent global users, including new emoji for moon cake, red gift envelope and nazar amulet
'As always, some of the most vocal requests for new emoji are about representation, and this update delivers some of the most common requests,' he told CNN.
'In particular the redheads and curly-haired options are likely to be popular.'
Emoji are designed and coded by the non-profit organisation the Unicode Consortium, which has already produced more than 2,500 of the digital cartoons.
Each symbol gets its own spin from the companies that implement them, such as Apple or Samsung.
While Apple said it is introducing 70 new emoji, the total number should come closer to 150 when options for gender and skin tones are taken into account. Pictured are a selection of the new curly haired, bald, ginger and white-haired characters
That's why the emoji you send from an iPhone will look different when the message is opened on a Galaxy S9.
It often takes several months for companies to pick-up new characters offered by the Consortium - and they don't always take all of its recommendations.

When the Consortium announced in June that its latest set emoji 11.0 included ginger emojis, red-heads rejoiced on Twitter.
Twitter user @lukestringer90 wrote: 'Finally. Equality for gingers in Emoji 11.'
@1_Kidney_Col tweeted: 'NO MORE DISCRIMINATION. Give my [sic] my ginger emoji'.
Other users saw the lighter side to the addition.
@alecingle tweeted: 'Today's the day gingers get an emoji. Big day for you guys, great work. Stay out of the sun whilst celebrating'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
