The expanded emoji update brings users the fun and expressiveness they love from other platforms into Teams. It also introduces a far wider range of diversity and representation in our fun content - a necessity for our diverse and widespread user base. These features are just the tip of the iceberg in empowering user expression and we're excited to get this out to users!
These are the specific changes:

Why is the emoji with the shortcut name (womansuperhero) given the name Super Mum, and not Woman superhero? Are only Mums super? Not all women are mothers, and women who don't have, or are unable to have, children are often made to feel 'less than' because they are not mothers. I know diversity and inclusivity is important to you - please can you represent and include all women in your emoji set, not just mums. Thank you.

@Jason_Schumacher I'd like to suggest the pattern of a double parentheses "((" as the trigger. Outside of typing in code, I generally don't see them doubled up, however it still easy to type.
