The new set of emojis for 2019 comes packed with something for everyone. Emoji 21.0 features a total of 230 new emojis with representations for the disabled, new animals like the orangutan, waffle, Hindu temple, and the pinching finger which is getting the most attention.

Emoji 12.0 is however getting limelight for the addition of a pinching hand emoji. Emojipedia explains this emoji's meaning as "used to suggest that something is small, or to gesture a small amount." The internet seems to think otherwise.
