What 🦡 means

A badger, a stocky digger with a striped face. It suggests stubbornness and grit, and the honey badger in particular stands for fearless, don't-care energy.

To "badger" someone is to pester them, so people send it when they keep asking for something. University of Wisconsin fans use it for the Badgers, and Harry Potter fans use it for Hufflepuff.
