What the badger 🦡 emoji means
🦡 is the badger: a grey badger with a striped black-and-white face. It means badgers — British woodland, Wisconsin Badgers, Hufflepuff — and the honey badger, the fearless animal of the “honey badger don’t care” meme, so 🦡 stands for stubborn, unbothered persistence. To “badger” someone is to pester them. Added in Emoji 11.0 (2018). Woodland neighbours: 🦔 hedgehog, 🦊 fox, 🦝 raccoon.
