If you're a Trekkie, you might be surprised to find that Spock's popular Vulcan salute can actually be used as an emoji on your iPhone. With the public release of iOS 8.3, you'll now have updated unicode for more diverse emojis.
Strangely, Apple added support for the Spock emoji, but didn't include it in the keyboard itself. But with a little simple trickery, you can add the Vulcan salute emoji as a keyboard shortcut on iOS 8.3.
Use Safari (it may not appear on Chrome) on your iOS device to open this tweet from DJs Mobiles and copy the Vulcan salute emoji.
Now, head over to Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts on your device and create a shortcut for the emoji.
Once the shortcut is saved, enter it from your keyboard and Spock's Vulcan salute emoji will appear.
[NOTE] The emoji will only appear if you're running iOS 8.3.
