Do you like emojis? How about Twitter’s Moments feature?

The popular social networking site has unveiled its plan for the Rio Olympics, and they’re going all out for the summer’s biggest event.

Emojis are the easiest way to show emotion through text, and fans across the globe can share their passion with 207 team emojis, the most Twitter’s ever released for one single event. Tweeting with the three-letter country code hashtag will trigger flag emojis for every team, including the Refugee Olympic Team (#ROT).

"Twitter's activation of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will bring fans around the world together to see what’s happening with the teams before, during and after the top athletes compete for glory,” Twitter CMO Leslie Berland said in a press release.
