What is 👹️ called?

👹️ is called the Ogre emoji.

More specifically known as the oni emoji or oni mask, after the supernatural beings of Japanese folklore. “Japanese ogre” is a common English explanation of the official name.

What does 👹️ mean?

👹 depicts an oni, a horned ogre from Japanese folklore, rather than a generic Western monster. It can represent oni masks, Japanese festivals and stories, demons, fierceness, or a frightening temper.

Informal messages may use it for somebody acting monstrous or angry. Cultural context is important: “ogre” is the official English emoji name, while “oni” more precisely identifies the figure behind the design.

Other meanings

Japanese folklore, an oni mask, a fierce guardian or villain, monstrous anger, Setsubun imagery, fantasy, or Halloween.

Example Usage

The festival display included a traditional oni mask 👹

He looked ready to become an ogre after that delay 👹

More details

Officially named ogre. Its code point is U+1F479, and this project records it from Emoji 1.0. It should not be treated as interchangeable with 👺 Goblin, whose artwork is based on a tengu mask.

Visual description

A red or orange mask-like face with horns, a broad nose, glaring eyes, fangs or tusks, and a wild mane or heavy brows.

Designs resemble Japanese oni masks and vary considerably between vendors. The horns and broad features distinguish it from the long-nosed 👺 Goblin.

⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
