Microsoft releases new Windows 10 preview with Emoji 12.0

Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 preview with Emoji 12.0. The update releases Windows 10 from version 18841 (made available to testers on February 20) for the construction of the 18845.

Windows 10 is being developed as a service, which means it receives new features regularly. Microsoft has released six major updates to date: November Update, Anniversary Update, Creator Update, Autumn Creator Update, April 2018 Update, and October 2018 Update.

Emoji 12.0 was finalized earlier this month. With the emoji set to be included in Emoji 12.0 now decided by Unicode, Microsoft added it to Windows 10.

This version is for Windows users who chose the Ignore option, in which only a small subset of the insiders can choose. Normally, that would mean 19H2, since 19H1 have not yet been released, but Microsoft has chosen to jump ahead this time.
