Separately, Apple has released 70 new emojis in celebration of World Emoji Day, and also updated the bio photos of its leadership team with Memoji. There are new curly hair, red hair, gray hair and no-hair options for popular emojis.
Facebook's other top emojis include "Smiling Face With Heart-Eyes", "Face Blowing a Kiss" and "Birthday Cake".
The new emojis will be available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, Apple said.
As well as the new hairstyles, exotic animals including a kangaroo, parrot and peacock are set to feature.
In a statement, they said: "Let's see Twitter alive with more emojis than it has ever seen".
Healthy eaters will be delighted to learn that a mango and lettuce also made the cut - along with a cupcake for balance.
In case you weren't already aware, tomorrow is World Emoji Day.
Some of the new emoji designs coming to Apple software. We have to admit: the mooncake emoji looks particularly tasty.
Other new emojis include superheroes, the infinity symbol and a nazar amulet, which traditionally wards off evil.
How many town names can you guess from the list of emojis?
The first emoji was created in 1998 or 1999 (there are conflicting reports on the matter) by Japanese designer Shigetaka Kurita, who was at the time working on a mobile internet platform, called i-mode, at Japanese carrier NTT.
Thousands of emoji are now available on iOS, watchOS and macOS, including emotive smiley faces, gender-neutral characters, various clothing options, food types, animals, mythical creatures and more.
