Twitter PyeongChang Olympics emoji
Twitter is including a special emoji when you use one of the Olympic hashtags, including:
- #PyeongChang2018
- #2018평창
I can't tell exactly but it looks like a snowy mountain beside the waves. Appropriate for Gangwon-do. Here's how it appears in the tweets.

Twitter also shows a few other emoji during the Olympics period, as you can see here:

The two Korean flags are just normal emoji you can copy/paste: 🇰🇵 and 🇰🇷
The others are special Twitter emoji for this Olympics period:

And finally, I missed this, but a few months back they also showed a peace sign for the old Olympic truce, as well a torch icons during the torch relay.

That Adweek article lists the games as taking place in Pyeongchang, China. Ouch. Not sure if that's better or worse than saying Pyeongyang. See some other Korean Twitter emojis here.
