What does ๐ Pig mean?
A whole pig standing in profile. It is more literal than the cute ๐ท face, suiting farm visits, pork and bacon talk, and muddy-day jokes. The phrase โwhen pigs flyโ makes it a handy way to say something will never happen. The Pig is the last of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, so it also appears in birthday and Lunar New Year greetings.
๐ Pig is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about animal, bacon, farm, pork and sow.
