We all love a good emoji, and now there are plans to add even more which represent disabled people.
Apple is thinking about bringing in 13 new ones including guide dogs, a wheelchair user and prosthetic limbs.
There could also be a man and woman walking with a cane, a man and woman signing that they are deaf and a hearing aid.
These pics of a man and woman using sign language would join the 'I love you' and victory hand emojis which already exist.
Apple says this isn't a full list of all the possible emojis which might reflect disabilities but it's a "starting point".
So there may well be plans for even more. Hurrah!
This is a service dog emoji. Service dogs help people who might have a 'hidden' disability which isn't obvious if you look at them. For example Autism, anxiety or seizures.
