What does the Deer emoji mean?

A light-brown deer standing on all fours, facing left with impressive, branching antlers. A familiar figure in Christmas scenes, often associated with Santa Claus.
2
A full-body emoji depicting a cartoon deer — an artiodactyl mammal with large horns. It has a light brown coat with a white chest and stands on four hooves facing left.
It’s used both literally and figuratively. Literally, it represents a wild animal. Figuratively, it can be used as an insult — to call someone a “deer” (i.e., to suggest they are naive or foolish).
