08 โ€” In conversation

What ๐Ÿ means from a girl or a guy

Who sent the goat and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.

From a girl
When a girl sends you ๐Ÿ, sheโ€™s usually teasing you playfully. It's often a sign she finds you a little annoying or ridiculous, but in a fun way. Donโ€™t take it too seriously!
From a guy
If a guy sends you ๐Ÿ, heโ€™s likely trying to be funny and a little cheeky. He might be admiring your skills or just messing with you. Itโ€™s almost always meant to be lighthearted.
How to reply
If someone sends you ๐Ÿ, you could reply with: "Youโ€™re a goat! ๐Ÿ", "Seriously?! ๐Ÿ", โ€œDonโ€™t be a goat! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€, or "Okay, okay, I get it. ๐Ÿ".
Used in a sentence

09 โ€” Around the world

What ๐Ÿ means in other countries

Doubles as one of the biggest compliments online (โ€œGOATโ€), separate from its literal use as a farm or sacrificial animal.

Changes meaning depending on where you are
Sports and social media

โ€œGOATโ€ (Greatest Of All Time) makes this one of the biggest compliments you can send about someone's skill.

Religious and agricultural contexts

Also a literal sacrificial or farm animal in traditions like Eid al-Adha, unrelated to the slang.

Before you send it: Great as a โ€œyou're the bestโ€ compliment; just note it can also read as a literal farm animal outside sports talk.

10 โ€” Apps

What ๐Ÿ means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

One code point, several readings โ€” where the goat lands changes how it is taken.

TikTok & Instagram
Generally, it means someone is being a bit of a jerk or is exceptionally good at something. Itโ€™s a playful insult or compliment depending on the context. In comments and captions it is read the same way โ€” the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp draws ๐Ÿ with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only ๐Ÿ in it is shown enlarged.
Discord & Slack
Both accept the shortcode :goat:. Discord renders Twemoji, so ๐Ÿ looks different there than on your phone.
Outlook & email
Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop โ€” press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste ๐Ÿ from the copy button above.

Goat was approved as U+1F410 and shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.

Today
Drawn 9 different ways
