Emojis are everywhere these days—even printed on posters at an environmental rally.

The popular social-media symbols found their way onto protest signs (made of what isn't clear) at the recent People's Climate March in London, thanks to design firm Pentagram, which created and handed out the placards.

Each featured mini emoji poems like "[Panda Bear] … [Hour Glass] … [Skull]" because, you know, pandas are endangered. Another triad: "[Tractor] … [Tree] … [Horrified Face]" (with the tree tipped to its side), translating roughly to "deforestation is bad."
