Boar Emoji

Animals

A side-profile view of a wild boar’s head, characterized by a brownish-grey coat, a prominent snout, and two sharp tusks curving upward from its lower jaw.

Usage Context

Used to represent wild animals, hunting, or forest wildlife. People also use it to describe someone who is being stubborn, aggressive, or particularly hungry. It is frequently paired with other forest-themed icons like 🌲 or animals such as 🐷.

History

The boar was added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial push to bring more diverse animal life to the emoji library, bridging the gap between domestic livestock and the wild creatures often featured in folk tales and rural imagery.
