Lobsters are kind of a big deal to the people of Maine. Which is why they weren't at all pleased to discover the new lobster emoji was anatomically inaccurate.
Thankfully, Unicode took instant action and rectified its mistake.

Yours truly,
Senator 🐮👑— Senator Angus King (@SenAngusKing) February 7, 2018 Read more...
