What 🐪 means

A one-humped camel, the dromedary of Arabia and North Africa. People send it for deserts, long dry stretches, and travel in the Middle East.

Wednesday is its big day: 🐪 turns up in "happy hump day" messages to mark the middle of the work week. It also shows up in travel posts next to 🏜️ and ☀️, and in jokes about going a long time without water.

🐪 has one hump and 🐫 has two. Many people pick either one without noticing the difference.
