The Issue

We, the undersigned, believe it is time to add a pomegranate emoji to the global keyboard.

Emojis have become a vital part of modern communication, enabling people everywhere to share culture, identity, and emotion through simple, universal symbols.

The pomegranate is a fruit rich with history, symbolism, and meaning:

  • Cultural significance: Revered in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Greek mythology.
  • Health and lifestyle: A widely recognized “superfood” and staple in diets around the world.
  • Global reach: Popular in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
  • Symbolism: Represents abundance, fertility, knowledge, and renewal.

Despite its significance, the pomegranate has no emoji representation — unlike apples, grapes, cherries, and even coconuts. Adding this fruit would honor its deep cultural and global relevance while filling a major gap in the emoji lexicon.

We respectfully call on Unicode and Apple (as well as other platforms) to create and approve a pomegranate emoji.

It’s time for the pomegranate to take its rightful place alongside the fruits we use every day to communicate, celebrate, and connect.

Join us in advocating for this meaningful addition to our digital language.

 Sign this petition and support the creation and approval of a pomegranate emoji.
