The turkey fans its tail feathers, the bird of the harvest. It stands for Thanksgiving, big feasts, and autumn gatherings.
People use it for holiday plans, food comas, and gobble gobble season. Pass the gravy.
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 Turkey emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the turkey 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.
