The Unicode conglomerate has accepted the new Emojis for your version 14.0, which will include pregnant men and various hand gestures. Unicode insists that emojis have no gender and everyone is free to use or interpret them as they want.
Every so often they are added new emojis to the library of Unicode to make communication with images more extensive, more accessible and more representative. By the end of the year and the beginning of next year, it is expected that they will be introduced in the libraries of the operating systems.

There are two great series of new emoji protagonists in Unicode 14.0. The first of them is the series of pregnant men, with different skin tones, and of a pregnant person. This is done for show the reality that trans men can also gestate, and the pregnant person with hair is for non-binary people or just showing a woman with short hair who is pregnant. The Unicode conglomerate also suggests that emoji can be used to show that a person is full after eating a lot of food, since the meaning of an emoji's image is always available to users.
The universal handshake gesture will allow the skin tone of both hands to be used to represent agreements between two people with different skin tones. It should be remembered that the new emojis serve to represent the reality of the world in general, and each one is free to use them or not, or to interpret them or give them the meaning that one considers.
