Meaning
A polar bear, added in Emoji 13.0. It is the single most recognisable symbol of climate change — the bear on the shrinking ice floe is the defining image of the crisis, used by campaigners for decades. It also represents the Arctic and cold generally. Its addition was long requested, and its use skews heavily toward environmental posts rather than wildlife ones.
How to use it
- The ice is going and so are they 🐻❄️
- Arctic wildlife documentary, devastating 🐻❄️
- Cold enough for one of these 🐻❄️
