What does the Ogre emoji mean?

Represented by the character 👹, the Ogre emoji is classified under Smileys & Emotion. It captures the idea of ogre in a single, cross-platform glyph that readers understand at a glance. Its official Unicode assignment is U+1F479, introduced with Emoji 1.0 in 2015. Once your system has an updated emoji font, the character renders consistently wherever you paste it. People reach for this smiley when they want to show feeling rather than describe it. It helps prevent misreads: a sentence that could sound cold becomes friendly once paired with this face, and a joke lands more clearly with the right expression attached. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of ogre stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (👹), as an HTML entity (👹), or as a shortcode (:ogre:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.

This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for ogre — it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
