What ๐ means
: The full body of a female sheep, also known as an 'Ewe', displaying its signature thick white fleece, while standing on all fours, facing left with shapely ears sticking out of its dark face.
The ๐ Ewe emoji signifies the innocence and docility that sheep exhibit, while it could also suggest sleepiness, complacency and a herd mentality. The different platforms vary in their design of this animal. Some even portray the Ewe looking straight ahead.
