What does ๐ Mouse mean?
A realistic full-body mouse with a long tail, shown from the side. It is usually literal, and often slightly panicked: spotting a mouse in the kitchen, setting traps, or hearing scratching in the walls. Pet mouse owners use it more fondly. Occasionally it shows up as a pun for a computer mouse, or to describe someone timid who scurries away from confrontation.
๐ Mouse is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about animal and animals.
