What πŸ— means

πŸ— feels rougher than the farm pig πŸ– or the cute 🐷. People use it to describe someone who charges ahead without thinking, eats wildly, or has a strong, rugged look. It appears in hunting posts, forest wildlife sightings and wild boar dishes. Some teams and clubs use a boar as a mascot, and πŸ— may stand for them. As an insult it can mean brutish or rude, but it is more often a joke about raw energy. In the Japanese zodiac the twelfth sign is the boar rather than the pig, so πŸ— can mark the Year of the Boar.
