The mosquito is the tiny buzzing pest of summer nights. It means bug bites, itchy ankles, and swatting at thin air.
It marks warm-weather annoyances and tropical travel, the uninvited guest at every barbecue.
In texting, 🦟 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🦟 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Mosquito emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the mosquito emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🦟 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
