Full-Body Bear emoji #238

Open Crissov opened 7 years ago

Crissov commented 7 years ago

There is a Bear Face emoji 🐻 already, which actually originated from a plush-toy Teddy Bear emoji, but it doesn’t work well in contrast to the Ox or Bull emoji 🐂 to signify falling 📉 and raising 📈 stock markets 💹, respectively. The [Water] Buffalo 🐃, Cow/Cattle 🐄 and Cow Face 🐮 emojis don’t offer a real improvement on that, neither would the proposed Polar Bear emoji #107. If a full-body Bear emoji was added, it should be drawn with a lowered head and the Bull with a raised head.

The candidate emojis for Unicode 11 include a Teddy Bear emoji as U+1F9F8. http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17284-emoji-recs.pdf
