BEHOLD: The new "pinching hand" emoji that's guaranteed to become every woman's favourite.

For single women everywhere, there is nothing more terrifying than an unsolicited d*ck pic.

Because unknowingly opening a text containing an image of some dude’s genitalia is never a fun surprise. Ever.

Well, it seems the emoji gods have answered our cries with the perfect means of responding.

It’s simple.

It’s elegant.

It’s genius.

…It’s a pinching hand, and we owe someone at the Unicode Consortium a drink and a high five.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter was awash with commentary when the cheeky new emoji dropped on Emojimedia today.

The new emoji is one of 230 new additions (including gender and skin tone variants), but before we talk about the wholesome and exciting ones, we should mention there’s also a yawning emoji so all your sassing needs can be met.

On the animal front, we’ve been spoilt for choice, with a sloth, flamingo, skunk and more.

There’s also a garlic for all your foodie-text needs.

Hang tight, though – the new wave will start showing up on phones in September, but some platforms might start releasing them earlier.

Until then, the magnifying glass emoji will do the trick.
