What 🐗 means

A wild boar with tusks and bristly fur. It means wild boars, hunting, and rough, tough strength.

Hunters use it for boar season, and people use it for forest wildlife and medieval or fantasy themes. In Japan the zodiac sign known elsewhere as the pig is the boar, so 🐗 shows up in Japanese New Year greetings.
