ASICS Runkeeper has emoji?

ASICS Runkeeper started adding a distance based symbol next to a users Total distance on the Me page of the app as a fun way to celebrate each distance achievement with the user.

What are the emojis on Runkeeper?

The emoji are linked to the total distance tracked within the app. It is not linked to the unit of measurement, just the distance value.

As an example, if you have run 150 miles; you will have the 💯 next to your Total (mi). If you change your unit of measure to metric, the distance will update to 241 km and you would get the 🙌 next to your Total (km) tracking.

ASICS Runkeeper has stated that once you get to your unicorn (more than 10 000 km or mi) – that is it! No more emoji after that.

Twitter post screenshot linked to Runkeeper support post, text reads: 
We got some clarification on this for you! The unicorn is the last level you can unlock so you've reached expert level. When you first start out they change every 100 miles or km, but as you progress they start changing every thousand miles or km. Congrats on making it so far!

Emoji differences between devices

Finally, each emoji symbol will display differently on different devices, web browsers and operating system versions. For example the 🦄 unicorn face emoji will render differently on an Apple device vs on an Android device in the ASICS Runkeeper app and the app will display a different version of the emoji to the example emoji on the above web based list.
