The Unicode Consortium just confirmed the new emoji list and Pig is finally getting his wish. Watching 465 of you rally for my favorite guy at the aquarium has been incredible. Keep an eye out for the update because Pig is already practicing his best pose for the camera.

Hey Humans! It’s Kerrie, Pig’s Trainer from @sealifesydneyaquarium here! It’s Pig’s 21st birthday next month and we’d LOVE your help for a special birthday surprise!
Word around the aquarium is that for his birthday Pig wants a Dugong emoji! Full credit to modern technology for creating a waterproof phone, but a dedicated emoji to the vulnerable Dugong species would be the icing on the cake for him – as well as helping to raise awareness for all his pals threatened by habitat loss in the big blue! Wouldn’t that be pretty special?
That’s why we’re calling on all Pig’s human pals to help a Dugong out! To show your support for your BFD (Big Friendly Dugong), sign the petition to get a Dugong emoji! Let’s do this! #DugongEmoji

Pig is getting so excited for his birthday and we are almost at the 250 signature mark. Please help me push us past this milestone so we can show the world how much everyone loves our favorite sea cow.

Yay, lets do this. I've met Kerrie and Pig and they are wonderful. A dugong emoji would be awesome!
Manatees and dugongs are my favourite animals and I think they deserve their own emoji. It would definitely be my most used emoji.
Would love to use a dugong emoji as part of my Email Signature! Happy Birthday buddy
Bring awareness to Dugong conservation through the creation, promotion, and use of this emoji!
Nice to recognise Dugong in the wild that need all the help they can get! GO PIG!!!
Yes!!! Much needed!!!
If you've ever seen ascii art of a dugong you'll know this is a fight worth fighting

I read about Pig the Dugong in the take 5 magazine & it was such a beautiful story it would be wonderful if we could get a Dugong emoji for awareness of ocean conservation
