What does ๐ซ Donkey mean?
A grey donkey with long ears, standing patiently. Donkeys are associated with stubbornness and hard work, so it suits someone refusing to budge or carrying a heavy load. In British football slang, a donkey is a clumsy player, and the emoji is a polite way to say โassโ without spelling it out. Beach donkey rides and farm visits use it literally. It was added in 2022, so older devices may not show it.
๐ซ Donkey is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 15.0 in 2022. People use it in messages about animal, ass, burro, hinny, mammal and mule.
