camel
A close-up of a two-humped camel's face, shown from the chest up, facing forward. It typically has a brownish-yellow coat with shaggy fur. The emoji often emphasizes its distinctive humps (even if only partially visible), long neck, and gentle expression.
There are different emoji meanings for camel in different cultures:
- Western culture
- Associated with deserts, the Middle East, North Africa, warmth, and sometimes 'hump day' (Wednesday, in a playful context).
- East Asian culture
- Similar associations with deserts and exoticism; less tied to linguistic puns like 'hump day'.
