Emoji Kitchen

Google releases an update to its emoji keyboard called Emoji Kitchen allowing Gboard users on Android to create certain emoji mashups, with the results suggested in the keyboard for input as a sticker. Each of the stickers are specially handcrafted by the designers at Google.

Emoji have been around long enough that people want to play with them like we do with words—mashing them together, turning nouns into verbs, breaking them apart to create entirely new concepts. Language is infinitely creative just like art and music, and with Emoji Kitchen, your phone’s keyboard becomes an even richer canvas for expression. / Jennifer Daniels, Google
