Emoji Meaning

1

A playful pink squid, typically shown with six arms—two raised—often used to evoke the spirit of sea life.

2

This squid is shown full-grown, its body carrying a delicate pinkish hue. It may resemble an octopus, but the head is different—more elongated and harpoon-like.

Squid is commonly enjoyed alongside fish and other seafood. Its meat features prominently in East and Central Asian cuisines, and in cafés and restaurants you can often order crispy, deep-fried squid rings.
