Emojis are usually reserved for text messages or chatting online, but now some drivers will be able to add them onto their car number plates.

 

表情符号通常出现在短信息或网上聊天内容中，不过如今，一部分司机还可以把表情符号用在车牌上。
 

 

In an unprecedented¹ move, drivers in Queensland will soon be able to add the much-loved symbols onto their vehicle plates from March 1st.

 

The unique idea is being rolled out by Personalised Plates Queensland (PPQ) and will allow motorists to choose from five emojis.

 

Drivers can pick from either a laugh out loud face, a wink² face, a sunglasses-wearing emoji, a heart-eyes expression, or simply just a smile.

 

Notably³ only the positive appearing emojis have been made available by the company.

 

'For quite some time we've seen that you can support your favourite team or your favourite town with a symbol on your number plate,' RACQ Dr Rebecca Michael told 7News.

 

'And using an emoji is no different,' she added.

 

But drivers will have to pay for the privilege⁴ of adding an emoji to their number plate.

 

The emoji additions will set a driver back anything from $160 to $500.
