Australia is letting people use emojis as an official part of their car licence plates

Australia is letting drivers add an emoji to their official government issued licence plates.  Drivers in the state of Queensland are able to add one of five emoji to the end of their usual state issued licence plate numbers from March 1.
People can choose "laughing out loud," "winking face," "cool sunglasses," "heart eyes," and "smiley face" emojis.

The government's personalization service, Personalised Plates Queensland, have been advertising sample plates, like these below on their Instagram page in the run up to March 1:
These new plates will still have the three-letter and two-number combination required by law, with the emoji coming next.  The price for the plates has not yet been announced on the government's website, but are estimated to be between R1,160 and R5,000, Daily Mail Australia reported.
The Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) welcomed the scheme, which they noted was similar to customization schemes which already exist.  RACQ Spokeswoman Dr Rebecca Michael said: "You can support your favorite team or your favorite town with a symbol on your number plate and using an emoji is no different," Seven Network reported.
