Apple introduced several updates related to emoji at WWDC 2024, particularly focusing on enhancing expressiveness in apps with the introduction of Genmoji. Genmoji allows users to create personalized emoji-like images that can be used similarly to traditional emoji, but with more customization options. These are not Unicode characters but unique rasterized bitmaps.

The session titled "Bring expression to your app with Genmoji" covers these updates extensively. It introduces the NSAdaptiveImageGlyph API, which supports using Genmoji and other custom images in apps. This session also discusses how to adopt these custom emoji in your app, compatibility considerations, and advanced use cases for custom text rendering.

For more details, you can check out the session Bring expression to your app with Genmoji at the "Emoji enhancements" chapter.
