What does ๐บ Wolf mean?
A grey wolfโs head, ears pricked, sometimes looking as if it is about to howl. It carries a wild, independent mood: the lone wolf doing things solo, a loyal friend group calling itself a pack, or a howl at the full moon. Werewolf stories, fantasy fans and sports teams named Wolves use it too. In ironic meme culture it also pokes fun at overblown โalphaโ and โsigmaโ posturing.
๐บ Wolf is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about animal and face.
