🐘 Elephant

Emoji Meaning

An elephant, the largest land animal on Earth, with a long trunk and, often, tusks. Generally depicted in gray in full profile on all fours facing left, with tusks and prominent ears, as an African (vs. Asian) elephant.

Google and Facebook’s elephants were previously blue in color. Samsung’s design previously featured a cartoon-styled elephant with a red blanket on its back and blowing a red heart from its trunk.

Elephant was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
