Snowman Emoji
Meaning
A classic snowman, as Frosty the Snowman, with snowflakes falling on it. Depicted as a snowman, facing forward, made from two or three large snowballs and stick arms, dressed with a top hat, a carrot nose, coal eyes, and two or three buttons on its torso. Sometimes shown with a smile and a red scarf.
Often used for various content concerning winter fun and Christmastime.
Vendors implement the same figure for their ⛄ Snowman Without Snow, which does not have snowflakes.
Google’s snowman previously wore green gloves, while Samsung's design previously lacked a hat.
This snowman predates Unicode emoji support, which explains why it may display as the black-and-white outline of a snowman.
