🐅 Tiger

A tiger, a large cat with an orange coat and black stripes. Depicted in full profile on all fours facing left, with a long tail, its distinctive stripes, and, on some platforms, white patches.

See also 🐯 Tiger Face. Not to be confused with 🐆 Leopard.

One of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Google’s design is noticeably more cartoon-styled, as Facebook’s previously was. Microsoft’s design previously featured a yellow, forward-facing tiger, as if on the prowl.

Tiger was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
