U+1F993 · emoji since 2017
The zebra is a striped wild horse, instantly recognisable. It stands for standing out, the wild, and a bit of black and white fun.
People use it for being unique, safari posts, and anything boldly patterned. One of a kind.
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 Zebra emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the zebra 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.
