Pig Emoji
Animals
A side-profile depiction of a pink pig, typically shown standing on all fours. It is drawn with a curled tail, a snout, and rounded hooves, capturing the classic look of farm-raised swine.
Usage Context
Used to discuss farming, livestock, or the act of overeating, often in a playful or self-deprecating manner. It is also frequently sent to represent the sound of a pig, or paired with the 🐽 pig nose emoji to add extra emphasis to a food-related comment or a joke about messiness.
History
The pig was added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial wave of animal emojis designed to bring more biological variety to mobile messaging apps. Its design was heavily influenced by the simplified, blocky character sprites found in early Japanese mobile carrier sets.
