🐘
What 🐘 means
: A large, whole, grey body of an elephant standing on all fours, facing left, displaying its signature large ears and long trunk coming out of its big head. Also visible are its white, curved tusks shooting from the side of its mouth and, on the other end, its long tail that's hairy at the end.
