This emoji shows a cheerful whale with a smiling face, closely resembling another variant — the whale with a jet of water. It’s rendered in blue, facing left with its mouth slightly open, and displayed full‑body with a gracefully curved tail.
Emoji can represent both a real whale in the wild and a playful character from an animated film. You can also use this smiley to suggest a plus-size person who loves being in the water.
