In real life, the Breton flag is already present almost everywhere around the globe. Gwenn ha Du has also been flooding Twitter since Monday. This initiative, which aims to convince web giants to definitively validate an emoji for the temporary hour (until February 9), has inspired other regions.
Thus, southerner internet users dream aloud of an #EmojiOccitanie to punctuate their tweets on the beauty of the Pyrenees, the tumbles of Antoine Dupont in Top 14 or the candidacy of Guy Novès in the municipal elections of Leucate.
So say if the Breton @regionbretagne have the #emojibzh why not us in the region @Occitanie #emojioccitanie?
With all my heart with the Bretons to get their emoji anyway!
Yes to #emojibzh and #emojioccitanie 👍 # GwennHaDu #Occitanie

Like Brittany, Occitania is a territory with a strong identity and we think it can work. "
The road is straight, but the slope is steep, to quote a former Prime Minister. Because if many twittos take sides with the Occitan cross in order to represent them with dignity, the region is caressing another idea, as it had already posted in 2018 on Twitter during #WorldEmojiDay.
We TOTALLY agree: for the #WorldEmojiDay you need a #Occitanie emoji! pic.twitter.com/CxgBCrxce6
- Région Occitanie (@Occitanie) July 17, 2018“It would rather be about creating an emoji like our logo, which is the combination of its Occitan and Catalan roots. The region will therefore closely monitor the mobilization undertaken in Brittany. Even if, she assures, the document tweeted in July 2018 is a simple illustration, and not the project likely to be proposed one day to the all-powerful Unicode consortium, which validates the creation of new emojis each year.
