What ๐ฆ means
A hippo, big and round with a wide mouth. It reads as hungry, heavy, or cheerfully chunky, and also as secretly dangerous, since real hippos are famously aggressive.
Snack talk and "hungry hungry hippo" jokes bring it out. Fans of viral zoo hippos, such as the baby pygmy hippo Moo Deng, use ๐ฆ to share clips and cheer them on.
