Elephant Emoji

Animals

A full-body side profile of a grey elephant, shown standing and facing left with its trunk raised. It features large, floppy ears and curved tusks.

Usage Context

Used to discuss nature, wildlife, or as a reference to the animal's massive size. It is frequently sent during conversations about zoo visits or memory, playing off the old saying about elephants never forgetting. It is often paired with other safari animals like 🦁 or 🦒.

History

The elephant was officially added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0. Its inclusion reflects the broad expansion of the emoji set to include more diverse wildlife beyond simple domestic pets.
