The emoji character set was unveiled at the same Star Wars Celebration event which saw the unveiling of the new trailer for the Force Awakens.

Getting the characters to appear in your tweets is pretty simple too: users who post hashtags representing keywords associated with specific Star Wars characters and legacy themes will see a small emoji-like icon automatically appended to the end of the text of the tag, embedded within the Tweet.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits cinemas on 16 December.
