The Game of Thrones emoji icons created by Elite Daily follow the release of the ultra popular Seinfeld emoji app, although like the world of Westeros, these icons are unfortunately only fictional.
The icons include faces and objects that are specific to the series, including things like dragon eggs, the Iron Throne itself, Direwolves and the Hand of the King pin. Although the emoji faces have to be extremely simplified, it's still pretty easy to tell each character apart. Some of the easiest to pick out include Jon Snow, the pouty face of Arya Stark, Daenerys and the bloodied skull of Oberyn Martell. Although these emojis aren't real, they would be lots of fun to send after watching an episode of Game of Thrones, even if they would make hinting at spoilers easier.
