Micro-blogging site Twitter has created custom emoji for the United Nations Climate Summit (COP21) taking place in Paris.
The emoji feature the earth in the shape of a heart, the Eiffel Tower in green, and the COP21 logo. The emoji will appear in tweets when the hashtags #COP21, #GoCOP21, #ActionDay and #ClimateChange are used.
The conference's objective is to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all the nations of the world. The agreement, if reached, aims to cut emissions of planet warming greenhouse gases.
In 2011, South Africa hosted the annual conference in Durban ? COP17.
Twitter is also using the conference to showcase its recently launched Moments feature. Moments shows users the site's best tweets and content as curated by a Twitter team, around a particular topic.
The COP21 Moments feed on Twitter features video snippets of presidents' speeches, tweets from established journalists, and pictures of the protests going on outside the conference.
Moments is meant to give the outside viewer a highlights reel of a topical event.
