You can now tweet a 🍕 emoji to Domino's in order to initiate a pizza transaction.
Emoji use differs by country. "Canadians lead the charge in their use of money, violence, sports-related, raunchy, and even the poop emoji," says SwiftKey's chief marketing officer, Joe Braidwood.
Americans are second behind Canada in their love of violent emojis, such as guns.
But one thing Americans also really, really love is pizza.
"Pizza was one of the most frequently used [emojis] in the U.S., as well as the chicken drumstick ... and I think it shows you that, versus other nations, you guys have particular food habits," Braidwood says.

It's ancient because Symbola's version is outdated in that package. At least that is the case for Debian 😒

Thank parent and grandparent. Arch linux; no joy in chrome, firefox, opera, or palemoon until I pacman installed community/ttf-symbola. I also changed encoding from Western (ISO8859-1) to UTF-8, duh.
Konqueror locked up :-( KDE5 go straight to hell and burn there.
