Boar Emoji
Meaning
A boar, a hairy, wild pig with tusks. Generally depicted as the face of a brown boar, either facing left or looking straight ahead, with prominent tusks projecting from its lower jaw.
WhatsApp’s design displays the animal in full profile, as Google, Microsoft, and Samsung previously did. Twitter's design features a cartoon-styled face looking forward, as did an early Facebook design.
Not to be confused with 🐖 Pig or 🐷 Pig Face, though their applications may overlap.
Available as an Apple Animoji.
