What does 🦂 Scorpion mean?
A brown scorpion with raised pincers and a curled, venomous tail. Astrology fans claim it for Scorpio, the sign known for intensity, loyalty and a famously sharp sting, so it shows up all through Scorpio season in late October and November. It also flags danger, desert hikes and someone with a cutting remark ready to go. Gamers may think of the Mortal Kombat fighter of the same name.
🦂 Scorpion is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (bugs & insects), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about Scorpio, Scorpius and zodiac.
