An owl, the classic symbol of wisdom and late nights. It can mean "smart," or it can mean "still awake at 3 a.m."
Night owls send it with ๐ when they cannot sleep. Students and teachers use it for study and knowledge, and language learners use it in jokes about the green owl mascot of the Duolingo app nagging them to practice.
