What ๐ means
A water buffalo with curved horns. It means the working animal of rice paddies and farms across Asia.
Farm life, travel in Southeast and South Asia, and wildlife posts are typical. In Vietnam the buffalo takes the ox's place in the zodiac, so it appears in Lunar New Year wishes there. It can also picture slow, patient, heavy work.
