A quick choice checklist

- Test the result. Paste the full value into the app, document, or profile where it will appear.
Animal emoji group pets, wildlife and habitats
The inventory is broad enough to separate domestic animals, birds, insects, sea life and extinct creatures. Emoji artwork is not a scientific field guide.
| Group | Examples | Identification limit |
|---|---|---|
| Pets and domestic animals | 🐶 🐱 🐄 🐎 | Breed, sex and individual identity are not encoded by the generic animal. |
| Birds and insects | 🦉 🦋 🐝 🪲 | Use a verified species resource for educational or safety claims. |
| Sea and reptiles | 🐙 🐠 🐬 🐢 | Habitat and behavior cannot be inferred from the small artwork. |
| Wild and extinct animals | 🦁 🐘 🦕 🦖 | Platform designs vary in realism and pose. |
Practical note: Use animal emoji for categories, reactions and broad references. Scientific names, conservation status and handling advice require authoritative written information.

How to type these animal emoji symbols directly
If you would rather type than paste, the codes below are what you need — the decimal value for Windows, the hexadecimal for Word and macOS.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🐶 | Dog Face | Not available | 1F436 | 🐶 |
| 🐷 | Pig Face | Not available | 1F437 | 🐷 |

Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. 128 entries here sit above that ceiling. A further 9 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. Each platform's method is spelled out in the keyboard guide.
06
How animal emoji symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
About 56% come from Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. The rest come from Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs and Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A. All 137 are emoji.
The system draws them, so you cannot restyle them. Unicode files the emoji ones under Animals & Nature and Smileys & Emotion. Watch the 9 that use several characters at once.
5 of those are held together by a hidden joiner. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart. The newest here arrived in Emoji 17.0.
Older phones show a blank box instead.
The clipboard carries code points, not the drawing on this page, so weight, spacing and colour can all shift between iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and an exported PDF.

Animal Emoji Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Dog Face and Pig Face?+
Different code points, similar shapes. Dog Face sits at U+1F436 and Pig Face at U+1F437, so search, sorting and screen readers treat them as unrelated characters even where they look the same.
What is the HTML code for dog face?+
Either reference works: 🐶 or 🐶. Both resolve to 🐶. Pasting the raw character is fine too once the document is UTF-8.
Why do these animal emoji symbols look different on iPhone and Android?+
All 137 entries here carry emoji properties, mostly from the Animals & Nature group. The code point is identical everywhere, but Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung each ship their own artwork for it, so the drawing changes while the meaning does not.
Why does one of these animal emoji symbols split apart when I paste it?+
9 entries here are sequences of more than one code point, and 5 of those are held together by a zero-width joiner. If the destination does not support the sequence, or if the copy was truncated, the parts render individually. Copy the entry with the button rather than by selecting the characters.
Which Unicode block are these animal emoji symbols in?+
Chiefly Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, which accounts for 76; the rest come from Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs and Symbols and Pictographs Extended-A. Older blocks are the safe ones; anything added recently needs testing first.
Will these animal emoji symbols work on older phones?+
The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 17.0. Devices that have not received a font update since then will show a blank rectangle instead. Test on a real older device before using a recent character where the meaning matters.
