What ๐ฆง means
An orangutan, the red-haired great ape with very long arms. It stands for the animal and, in chat, for silly ape behavior.
Rainforest, conservation, and palm-oil posts use it, as do animal-fact threads. As a joke it can be a self-portrait for messy hair or clumsy moves, and it pairs with ๐ด and ๐.
Orangutans are apes, not monkeys, even though โmonkeyโ is one of its keywords.
