What does ๐ Ewe mean?
A fluffy white sheep, technically a female, though most people treat it as the general sheep emoji. It turns up for counting sheep when you cannot sleep, knitting and wool projects, spring lambs and countryside walks. It can also gently mock someone who follows the crowd without thinking. The soft, woolly look makes it a cosy, comforting choice in bedtime messages.
๐ Ewe is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about animal, baa, farm, female, fluffy and lamb.
