What does the Donkey emoji ๐ซ mean?
A donkey shown in profile, a hardy working animal known for stubbornness and for carrying heavy loads. Online it doubles as the visual pun for 'ass' - people drop it in place of the word for a cheeky, censored joke. It can also nod to real donkey traits: being stubborn, doing the unglamorous grunt work, or being a bit of a fool.
