How do you know that you’ve truly “arrived”? These days, it’s probably when you’ve got your own emoji – and Twitter has just debuted a new emoji resembling social media savvy T-Mobile boss John Legere.
The CEO of the third largest wireless carrier in the United States makes extensive use of Twitter, having often even interacted directly with his company’s customers. According to CNNMoney, his dedication to the social media site has so impressed Twitter that it has now given him a cute emoji in his image.

From today, the cartoon picture of a grinning John Legere, complete with trademark lengthy locks, will appear in a tweet whenever the hashtag #tweetjohn is used. Referring to the emoji, Legere has remarked: “I’m going to take some ribbing from my friends, but it definitely makes me look 20 years younger.” How much longer, we wonder, before it appears on the iOS emoji keyboard?
