Twitter Creates Pope Emojis In Nod To US Visit

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Twitter has rolled out special emojis for users tweeting about Pope Francis' visit to the United States.

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

There are also emojis for #PopeInDC, which shows the U.S. Capitol; #PopeInNYC, which has the Statue of Liberty; and #PopeInPhilly, which displays the Liberty Bell.

Francis wraps up a four-day Cuba trip Tuesday before flying to Washington D.C.

He'll then head to New York City on Thursday where he'll attend a prayer service at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
