Like many of you, I stand here today with a question lingering in my mind; there used to be a seahorse emoji and now it's gone. Where did it go? I'm not sure. But what I do know is I want it back. Emojis have become an integral part of our communication, with 5 billion emojis being sent daily on Facebook Messenger alone in 2017 (source: Emojipedia). They have the power to transcend language barriers, punctuate a poignant sentiment, or simply bring joy to our chats. The seahorse emoji, in particular, holds a special value. With only a handful of emojis representing marine life, it played an important role to those of us who hold a love for the sea and its inhabitants. It was not just an icon - it was a symbol of aquatic beauty, diversity, and the importance of ocean conservation in an increasingly climate-conscious digital space. Join me in appealing to Unicode Consortium, the official body responsible for formulating emojis, to bring back the beloved seahorse emoji. Every signature counts in asserting our affection towards the seahorse and reinstating its rightful place in our emoji keyboards. Sign the petition today.
