A fierce, green dragon head facing forward, sporting two horns, golden snout ridges, and a pair of sharp fangs. It captures the classic look of a mythical serpent with an intense, unwavering stare.

Usage Context

Frequently used to represent strength, power, or good fortune, particularly during Lunar New Year celebrations.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0, this icon draws heavily on East Asian cultural representations of the dragon.
