U+1FACF "🫏" Donkey Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🫏

U+1FACF "🫏" Donkey is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, officially introduced in 2021 as part of Emoji 14.0 and Unicode 14.0, representing a full body view of a donkey, a domesticated hoofed mammal known for its long ears, braying call, and historical use as a working animal. This character belongs to the Symbols and Pictographs Extended A block and was added to fill a gap in animal emoji representation, allowing users to depict donkeys in digital communication beyond the previously existing horse emoji. It is designed to be displayed across various platforms with slightly different artistic interpretations, but consistently maintains the distinctive features of the animal such as its grayish coat and long ears, serving as a tool for text based expression in contexts ranging from wildlife discussion to metaphorical references to stubbornness or humility.
