I am one among many who steadfastly believe in the existence of Mothman, a creature that has intrigued people worldwide since it was first reported in the 1960s in West Virginia, USA. However, Mothman has yet to be officially recognized in popular culture—namely, our emoji library. We feel it's high time for this glaring disregard to be addressed.

In this digital age, emojis have become a powerful tool for communication, enabling us to express our thoughts and emotions in a quick, simple, and visually striking manner. Unicode Consortium, the governing body of emojis, has already added a myriad of creatures in its roster—ranging from animals to mythical beings, like unicorns and mermaids. It's perplexing that Mothman, an entity that has played such an influential role in folklore and urban legends, still lacks representation in this visual language (source: Unicode.org).

This oversight appears especially glaring when you consider the significance of Mothman in contemporary lore. It has been the subject of various books, documentaries, and films, highlighting its pervasive value in popular culture.

Inclusion of a Mothman emoji is not just about representation—it's about fostering awareness, respecting integral pieces of our urban legends, and extending recognition towards a symbol that holds personal importance for many. This small, yet meaningful action will signal to many, like myself, who believe in Mothman, that our opinions and beliefs are seen and valued.

Join us in petitioning the Unicode Consortium to establish a standard emoji representing Mothman. Please, sign and share this petition to bring recognition and awareness to Mothman.
