Twitter has rolled out special emojis for users tweeting about Pope Francis' visit to the United States.

Tweets with the hashtag "PopeInUS" render an icon of a smiling, white-capped pontiff in front of a U.S. flag.

There are also emojis for (hashtag)PopeInDC — the U.S. Capitol; (hashtag)PopeInNYC — the Statue of Liberty; and (hashtag)PopeInPhilly — the Liberty Bell.

Francis wraps up a four-day Cuba trip today and flies north to the United States.
