If you've got ginger hair and want to shout about it when sending your mates or loved ones messages, you now can.

An emoji keyboard - just for gingers - has been created.

There was a huge out-cry and even a petition when Apple updated to the latest software iOS 8.3 and failed to include red-headed emojis.

The people behind the petition, Ginger Parrot, claimed Apple was missing out on 138m potential red-head customers.

Tech company, Swyft Media, has created a range of ginger emojis.

Swyft Media launched the new emojis.

Evan Wray, the company's co-founder, says: "Emoji are quickly becoming the primary conversation currency in mobile messaging.

Everyone wants the ability to personalise their chats and online presence with an emoji - whether that be a consumer or a brand.

"We're happy that we've been able to create a way for redheads to join the emoji party."

There is now a whole host of ginger emojis.

The Ginger Emoji Keyboard is available on Google Play and on the Apple App Store.
