Turkey 🦃
Usage snapshot:
- Used in content written with the Common script; suitable for UI labels and body text.
- Appears in the Unicode block Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs.
History & usage: This emoji shows a friendly turkey icon used to refer to birds, farms, Thanksgiving meals, and seasonal celebrations. The name TURKEY signals a pictorial symbol rather than a letter or sign; it is a stand‑alone image used to convey an idea or object. In everyday use, it appears in chat, on social posts, and as a button label for animal or food themes. It can appear in educational captions about wildlife or in posts about history and folklore around harvest time. Alt text should briefly describe the bird for screen readers. It looks similar across platforms but may vary in color and detail.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
