Ewe Emoji
Meaning
A ewe, or female sheep raised for its wool, meat, and milk. Depicted in full profile on all fours facing left with a thick, white fleece and black, gray, or white skin, and lacking the large, spiraling horns seen on a ram.
As such, this emoji is not to be confused with the 🐏 Ram emoji, though their applications may overlap. Additionally often considered one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac in lieu of the 🐐 Goat.
In 2025, this emoji became the most-used emoji on the social platform Bluesky, driven by the account counting sheep, which posted threads featuring an ever-increasing number of this emoji every 15 minutes.
Apple and Google’s designs previously depicted a ram. Samsung and Facebook’s designs previously featured only a ewe face.
