U+1F404 "🐄" Cow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🐄

U+1F404 "🐄" Cow is a pictographic representation of a full adult bovine, typically depicted in a side profile with a white face and patches of black or brown on its body, though its exact coloration can vary across platforms. Added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of the Emoji 1.0 set, this character belongs to the Animals and Nature category and is often used in digital communication to refer to dairy farming, beef production, or simply to represent the animal itself in a friendly, cartoonish style. Its widespread inclusion in text messaging and social media allows for easy expression of concepts related to agriculture, countryside life, or even the idiomatic phrase "till the cows come home," despite its emoji form differing slightly from the more stylized "🐮" cow face emoji.
