The face of a horse, generally facing left. Depicted as a light or reddish-brown horse with a dark brown or black mane, and, on many platforms, a light-colored muzzle.

Not to be confused with the full-bodied <a href="/horse/">🐎 Horse</a> or <a href="/horse-racing/">🏇 Horse Racing</a>, though their applications may overlap. Some vendors implement a&nbsp;similar design in <a href="/unicorn/">🦄 Unicorn Face</a> and <a href="/zebra/">🦓 Zebra</a>.

WhatsApp&rsquo;s horse is facing left, as Facebook&rsquo;s <a href="/facebook/1.0/horse-face/">previously</a> was.

Horse Racing

A grey donkey or mule, shown in full profile, sometimes with its hind legs kicking into the air.

Can be used literally to represent the pack animal. Can also be used metaphorically to call someone a jackass&nbsp;or to say that someone is stubborn as a mule.

Because the donkey is a symbol of the Democratic Party of the United States, it may be used in political contexts. Additionally, the term mule&nbsp;can refer to someone who carries illegal drugs across borders, so this emoji may be used to talk about smugglers and the act of smuggling.

Donkey

A horse, a hoofed mammal used for riding and racing. Depicted as a brown horse in full profile galloping to the left, with a dark, flowing mane and tail.

May be used to represent various types of horses and their metaphorical senses (e.g., mustang, stallion).

Often used for various content related to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_symbols#Unicorns">LGBTQ community</a>, thanks in part to its <a href="/rainbow-flag/">rainbow</a> colors on many platforms. Also often used in association with &ldquo;unicorn&rdquo; startups. Sometimes used as a rainbow or holographic accent color.

Vendors implement the emoji with the same or similar design as <a href="/horse-face/">🐴 Horse Face</a>, but with colorful hair and a horn.

Zebra Face

A friendly, cartoon-styled face of a cow looking straight ahead. Variously depicted as a white, brown, or multicolored cow face with a neutral expression, short horns, and a pink or brown muzzle.

Often used with a more affectionate tone than the full-bodied <a href="/cow/">🐄 Cow</a>.

Facebook&rsquo;s design <a href="/facebook/2.0/cow-face/">once featured</a> a more lifelike, brown cow face.

Cow Face

A cow, a bovine farmed for its meat or milk. Depicted in full profile on all fours facing left with a black-and-white patched coat (as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holstein_Friesian_cattle">Holstein Friesian</a>) and, on many platforms, a pink udder and horns.
