Paw prints Emoji

Animals

Two small, dark paw prints arranged in a diagonal line, appearing as if an animal just walked across the screen. The design features a central pad with four smaller toe pads above it.

Usage Context

Used to show affection for pets, announce that a new puppy or kitten has joined the family, or mark a post about animal rescue. It also serves as a playful way to say you are out walking or tracking someone’s location, often paired with 🐶 or 🐱.

History

Included as part of the massive expansion of pictographs in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, these prints were added to help bridge the gap between simple animal emojis and the growing trend of social media pet profiles. It has since become a staple for animal-related content across all mobile platforms.
