In early February, the U.S. state—famed for its lobsters—celebrated its victory in securing a lobster emoji. In September 2017, Sen. Angus King of Maine penned a letter to the Unicode Consortium, urging it to release a lobster emoji.*
Great news for Maine - we're getting a lobster emoji!!! Thanks to @unicode (https://twitter.com/unicode?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) for recognizing the impact of this critical crustacean, in Maine and across the country
Yours truly,
Senator 🐮👑
