Fish Emoji
Meaning
A common fish, as swims in the water. Depicted as a generic, light-blue fish, often with a white underside, in full profile facing left, with fins and prominent gill cover.
May be used to represent a variety of other fish (freshwater or saltwater), fishing, metaphorical senses of fish, and fish as food, as consumed in the form of 🍣 Sushi. May be used to represent ♓ Pisces, the Fish, in the Western zodiac.
Not to be confused with 🐠 Tropical Fish or 🐡 Blowfish, though their applications may overlap. Vendors implement a similar design to the fish caught on the 🎣 Fishing Pole.
Microsoft’s fish was previously yellow.
