What the chipmunk 🐿️ (squirrel) emoji means
🐿️ is the chipmunk — and the squirrel emoji, since there is no separate squirrel: a brown striped rodent holding a nut. It means squirrels, autumn, hoarding (“squirreling away savings”) and distraction (“squirrel!” from the film Up). Added in Emoji 1.0 (2015); the chipmunk wants its variation selector, and 🐿 without one may fall back to a plain text glyph. Autumn set: 🌰 chestnut, 🍂 fall leaves, 🦔 hedgehog.
