Bison 🦬
History & usage: This emoji shows a bison, a sturdy creature that can symbolize strength, endurance, and a wild, expansive landscape. In chats, people drop it after stories about travel, camping, or tough tasks to add a playful, rustic vibe. In posts, it serves as a friendly nod to nature, outdoors, or Western themes, or as a metaphor for stoicism and perseverance during challenging moments. In UI labels or menus, it can stand in for rugged features, big ideas, or bold, adventurous options, helping to convey character without words. Reactions or notifications might use it to celebrate a bold achievement or to hint at a frontier spirit in a lighthearted way. Accessibility note: provide alt text like “bison emoji” so screen readers describe the icon clearly to all users.
