Owl emoji meaning

The owl emoji is a stylized representation of an owl, a nocturnal bird of prey with large, forward-facing eyes, a hooked beak, and a flat face. It is typically depicted with a round, fluffy head and a tuft of feathers on top, and is often portrayed with its wings outstretched or in flight. The owl is known for its silent flight and keen eyesight, and is often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and stealth. In emoji form, it is often used to represent these qualities, or to simply represent the presence of an owl.

The owl emoji was approved in Unicode 9.0 and added in Emoji 3.0, see related proposal L2/15054L2/14174
