Twitter offers a fire chicken emoji for Lunar New Year 2017

Twitter is showing a cute fire rooster (불닭) emoji when you use the hashtag #2017어서오계 or variations of #LunarNewYear. You can see it from now until February 12.



2017 will be the year of the rooster, and this round it matches with the fire element. Lunar New Year, or Seollal in Korean, is this Saturday (a fact Google knows just by searching "seollal").

Here's the fiery chicken image it triggers:

Facebook also included the fire chicken in its Lunar New Year celebration message:
