Apple releases the latest OS X update seed to developers, revealing a pleasant surprise.

Apple is working with the Unicode Consortium, the group that standardizes emojis, to bring a brand new selection of racially diverse emojis. Developers have reported that it looks as though these emojis will have interchangeable swatches that can change a Caucasian emoji to a variety of different skin colors. There will be six different options for hair and skin, accessible through a dropdown menu on each icon in apps such as Messages for Mac. The new emojis will only show up on supported devices, so do not forget to update your iPhone/iPad.

What are your thoughts on this much needed update?

Check out the new emojis and a screenshot provided from a developer below:
