たる型の胴体に短い脚、巨大な丸い鼻先を持つ灰色のカバで、たいてい機嫌のいい横向きで描かれます。カバ🦛は、おっとりして丸っこく見えるのにアフリカで最も縄張り意識が強く危険な動物の一つである生き物をとらえています。ネットでは二重の意味を帯び、川の巨獣の生の力と、愛らしく大きく、丸っこく抱きしめたいものや人への親しみを込めた呼び名になっています。

About hippopotamus Emoji

Usage: 🦛は動物園やサファリの写真、野生動物の豆知識に使いますが、それと同じくらいぽっちゃりしたペットやぬいぐるみ、たらふく食べた友達をからかうのにも使います。ゲーム「ハングリーハングリーヒッポ」をネタにしたジョークに登場し、水や泥、あくびの口のユーモアときれいに組み合わさります。

カバは2018年のUnicode 11.0に、新しい動物絵文字の波の中で加わりました。おもしろい余談として、あの図体にもかかわらずカバは実は泳いだり浮いたりできず、川底を蹴って走るように進みます。そして名作ボードゲーム「ハングリーハングリーヒッポ」は1978年に発売されました。
