What does ๐ Leopard mean?
A spotted big cat stretched out in a running pose. Since there is no separate cheetah emoji, it often stands in for one, so it gets used for speed: sprinting for a bus or finishing a task in record time. Fashion fans use it for leopard print, and it also illustrates the saying that a leopard cannot change its spots when someone repeats old habits.
๐ Leopard is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about animal, big, cat, predator and zoo.
