This emoji shows a full-body orangutan with orange fur and large hands. It’s sitting with one hand on its head, as if scratching, and the exact shade of its coat can vary between messaging apps and platforms.
People use it when talking about animals, wildlife, or nature — and it’s perfect for playful teasing too, letting you call someone a monkey in a lighthearted, not-too-offensive way.
