What does ๐จ Koala mean?
A grey koala face with fluffy round ears and a big dark nose. It is closely tied to Australia and to sleepiness, since koalas spend most of the day dozing in eucalyptus trees. People use it for cuddly clinginess, napping, or holding on to someone like a koala to a branch. Though often called koala bears, they are actually marsupials, not bears.
๐จ Koala is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about animal, australia, bear, down, face and marsupial.
