What 🦊 fox means
Pets and wildlife carry most of the traffic here: 🐶 and 🐱 stand in for the animal you actually own, 🐻 and 🐨 work as plain affection, and 🦄 marks anything improbably rare, including a billion-dollar startup. The family's biggest drift is 🐐, which now almost always means greatest of all time. 🐻❄️ polar bear and 🐈⬛ black cat are ZWJ sequences added in Emoji 13.0.
Unicode tags this one animal, face and files it under Animals & Nature → Mammals.
