Unfortunately, astronomy is not considered to be an important subject in many schools across the world. This leads to a very low level of astronomic literacy among the new generation. Nevertheless, it undoubtedly is a very important field of science for the progress of our civilization, which could provide solutions for many global problems in the future.

For this reason, we believe that it is really important to provide representation for astronomy in popular culture, in this case implying virtual communications. Unfortunately, what is represented now in the emoji inventory available to chat users is a bare minimum of symbols of astronomical objects. We suggest adding the symbols for all the unrepresented celestial bodies of the solar system, such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. After the new symbols are introduced, we expect the similar popularity as the previously introduced symbols related to astronomy.
In a similar way we expect that more people, especially the rising generation, will address their attention to astronomy, possibly becoming researchers and contributing to the knowledge base of humanity.

We suggest adding the symbols for all the unrepresented celestial bodies of the solar system, such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
