Snowman emoji meaning

The snowman emoji represents a cheerful winter symbol often associated with the holiday season and snowy weather. It is modeled after the classic snowman created by stacking two or three large snowballs. These snowmen are traditionally decorated with a carrot as a nose, buttons or coal for eyes and a mouth, and sometimes a scarf, hat, or even sticks for arms. This particular emoji typically features two stacked snowballs, showcasing its simple yet recognizable design. It also includes snowflakes or a snowy background, emphasizing its connection to winter. There is another version of this emoji called the Snowman Without Snow, which does not include the snowy details. Snowmen are commonly built by children and families during the winter months, making the emoji a nostalgic and playful representation of cold weather activities and holiday traditions.

The snowman emoji was approved in Unicode 1.1 and added in Emoji 1.0, see related proposal L2/07259
