Washington (CNN) Sen. Angus King of Maine has finally netted his state a lobster emoji. In September, the independent senator sent a letter to the California-based Unicode Consortium pressing for the emoji, highlighting the crustacean's economic and cultural value to Maine. On Wednesday, the Unicode Consortium announced the emoji would be added to its library, a move that King hailed as "great news." Great news for Maine - we're getting a lobster emoji!!! Thanks to @unicode for recognizing the impact of this critical crustacean, in Maine and across the country.
