Give Pickleball Its Own Emoji
The Issue
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the World for five years running
There 24.3 million players in the U.S. in 2025, according to SFIA.
About 1.8 million Canadians play too. But when players text friends to meet at the courts, there's no emoji for the sport.
They use 🏓, which is table tennis, a different game with a different paddle and ball and no court.
The Dink Den Pickleball Social Club in Cobourg, Ontario, is working with clubs across North America on a formal proposal to the Unicode Consortium for a pickleball paddle-and-ball emoji.
Add your name to show that players, clubs and fans want a pickleball emoji. If you can help with artwork or research, or by spreading the word, please join us!
