Llama 🦙
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 llama in a friendly pose. The official name LLAMA informs its identity as an animal symbol in a family of pictographs. In token terms, the name centers on a single LETTER-like unit without diacritical or modifier tokens, signaling a straightforward animal ideograph rather than a sign with extra meaning. Practical uses include: in dictionaries or educational primers, to illustrate animal names and animal-adjacent vocabulary; in scholarly editions or archival transcription, as a visual cue for animal references in cultural texts; and in social UI contexts, as a cheerful reaction or avatar icon. If cultural_capsule exists, insert its sentence verbatim here. Cross‑platform appearance is consistent with alt text describing the image, aiding accessibility for screen readers.
