Hawaii themed app offers local kine emoji

Bank of Hawaii has created the Hawaiimoji app, which allows smartphone users to electronically send Hawaii themed icons such as smiley faces with pink plumeria, aloha shirts, surfboards, spam musubi and ukulele.

Compatible with Android and Apple smartphones, the Hawaiimoji app features 25 emoji and four animated gifs, and includes built-in social media access for Facebook and Twitter. Users can also share Hawaiimoji via text and mail, as well as copy and paste them.

Hawaiimoji is available for free download through Android and Apple app stores. Bank of Hawaii will continue to create additional images that represent Hawaii culture.
