Apple today rolled out its second macOS Sierra 10.12.2 beta, adding new emoji that will also make its way iPhone and iPad with iOS 10.2. The update also brings bug fixes and improves performance.
macSierra includes support for Unicode 9, which includes new emoji characters like the face palm, crossed fingers, fox face, shark, butterfly, clown face, drooling face, and a whole bunch of professions in male and female versions — including Ziggy Stardust lookalikes.

macOS Sierra 10.12.2 also comes with some bug fixes that eliminate problems Apple has stumbled across since Sierra made its debut back in September. The update also promises to improve performance.
macOS Sierra 10.12.2 beta 2 can be downloaded from Apple’s Developer Center now. If you’re already running Sierra 10.12.2 beta 1, you can grab the update from the Mac App Store.

It’s a sad state of affairs for the tech industry when emoji make news as a new feature. Maybe for mankind even with its dearth of communication skill set.
Yeah!
After 5 years I resigned from my previous work and it changed my life… I started doing work from home, over a website I stumbled upon over internet, for several hours every day, and I earn much more than i did on my office job… My last month check was for 9000 dollars… Amazing thing about this work is that i have more time with my kids… CHILP.IT/8d93f4b
The Printing Bug with Apple subsidiary FileMaker Inc. presumably resolved with macOs Sierra 10.12.2 beta1 as of Oct. 31. No information yet about Printing Bug with Adobe CC AND crashes with MS Office.
Completely killed my Bluetooth and USB. Safe mode works but nothing else. Formatting and going back.
