A sloth emoji could be on it’s way to your phone! Unicode is working on next year’s Emoji, and artists can submit pieces for consideration. One artist named Bodo Tashe submitted artwork for a sloth emoji to Unicode, the company that handles Emoji.

Together with @kellyblanchat I finished a proposal to bring a #sloth emoji to @unicode . Now we have to wait and see what happens 🤞.

Thanks to @MacintoshFM for the nudge to do this 👍 and to @jenny8lee for https://t.co/9a2TsIjGj8 pic.twitter.com/2oFF8TFA9V

Elite Daily‘s Rachel Murphy says, “How many times have you gone to text a friend and wished for a small digital sloth to send? A lot, right? Good. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in my obsession. This fabulous news just keeps getting better, because, in addition to the sloth, there are 103 other emojis draft candidatesthat could be released as early as 2019. While next year is still pretty far away (or at least it feels that way), I can’t wait to use the sloth emoji over and over again, if and when it is released.”

I don’t know about you, but I will DEFINITELY be using this emoji!
