Bear

A friendly, cartoon-styled face of bear, looking straight ahead. Depicted as a brown bear with round ears and a tan muzzle. Resembles a teddy bear.

Often used with an affectionate tone. Does not have a full-bodied bear emoji counterpart.

May be used to refer to certain members of the LGBTQ community, a la the slang term "bear".

Available as an Apple Animoji.

Samsung’s bear was previously golden brown.

Bear was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name "Bear Face" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
