The Horse emoji π was approved under Unicode 6.0 in 2010. On most major platforms, the emoji resembles a tan or chestnut-colored horse galloping to the left. The Apple version of the emoji has a green blanket on the horseβs back, and the Facebook version of the emoji has a brown saddle with a blue blanket.
Horses are common and popular animals, so the Horse emoji π is used frequently every day on social media.
