'Star Wars' character becomes Twitter emoji

Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren, a character from the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has got his own Twitter emoji.

Director J J Abrams's production company released the emoji as well as a hastag one for Gwendoline Christie's Captain Phasma, reported an entertainment magazine.

In the main Twitter feed, the Kylo Ren emoji looks like a tiny grey mushroom or perhaps a dead Goomba.

The Force Awakens cast is present at ongoing Comic-Con to promote the film.
