The organization published a preview of all 157 new emoji, set to launch June 2018, and Senator Angus King of Maine couldn’t help but share his excitement.
“Great news for Maine - we're getting a lobster emoji!!!” the East Coast politician wrote on Twitter. “Thanks to @unicode for recognizing the impact of this critical crustacean, in Maine and across the country.”
Others shared his enthusiasm for the crustacean, including the “Lobster From Maine” Twitter account.
However, people were quick to note an anatomical error with the lobster emoji.
According to the University of Maine, a lobster is known as a decapod, with “deca” being Greek for ten, because lobsters have 10 legs (five pairs). The lobster emoji appears to only have eight legs.
