U+1FAC8 "🫈" Hairy Creature Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🫈

U+1FAC8 "🫈" Hairy Creature is a relatively recent addition to the emoji set, introduced in Unicode 15.0 in 2022, and depicts a face or silhouette that is entirely covered in shaggy, tangled hair or fur, with only two glowing yellow eyes peeking through the dense coat. Its design strongly evokes a classic, mysterious cryptid or a forest spirit rather than a domesticated pet, and it has been interpreted as representing anything from Bigfoot or a yeti to a more general representation of wildness, untamed nature, or even an unkempt, unidentifiable being. The emoji is often used in playful or humorous contexts to suggest something feral, creepy, or hidden, as well as to express feelings of being disheveled, out of control, or simply "beastly."
