It is genuinely baffling that in a world with emojis for curling 🥌, lacrosse 🥍, and even a yo-yo 🪀, Squash a sport played by over 20 million people globally is still invisible on our keyboards. We cannot keep using the Tennis ball anymore 🎾! It’s simply not the same sport. A Squash emoji would not only serve as a representation of a beloved sport but would also validate the significance it holds for millions worldwide. Unlike tennis, squash has distinct gear. A squash racket has a completely different shape, typically teardrop, and the ball is small, black, and rubber usually with double yellow dot - definitely not fuzzy and yellow. These unique features deserve their rightful place alongside other sports emojis so that fans and players alike can share their passion more accurately across all digital platforms.

Adding to the urgency, squash is officially included in the LA 2028 Olympic Games. This elevates its global status and highlights the demand for proper digital representation. Every Olympic sport is deserving of its own emoji, contributing to the tapestry of cultures and sports celebrated on a global stage.

Including a Squash emoji is a step towards inclusivity and acknowledgment of diverse activities people are passionate about. Let's encourage the @Unicode Consortium to recognize this need and bridge the gap between emoji representation and real-world sports enthusiasm.
