IRAN:UN Issues New Emoji for �Traffic-Induced Existential Despair�

The United Nations Emoji Subcommittee has officially unveiled a new emoji designed specifically for use during Tehran's ongoing evacuation chaos. The symbol, a cartoon face melting into gridlock while holding a gas can, was fast-tracked by global request after millions of Iranians simultaneously tweeted �???????????????????.� The emoji�s Unicode description reads: �Despair, induced by evacuation traffic, limited gasoline, and absurd geopolitical instruction.� One delegate said, �It captures the mood of 2025: terror with a touch of irony.� Iran�s Minister of Communications criticized the emoji for being �too realistic,� while the U.S. State Department has already adopted it as shorthand in diplomatic memos. It replaces their previous shorthand for Tehran�three question marks and a fire emoji. On Iranian Twitter, the emoji is now used to mark safe houses, functional gas stations, and memes about fleeing your uncle�s apartment because his cat looks �too calm.� One satirical cartoon shows the emoji being slapped by a giant hand labeled �Reality.� SOURCE: http://bohiney.com/random/
