• eighth of the signs of the Asian zodiac, used in Vietnam
The goat emoji doubles as a barnyard buddy and a standing ovation in one tiny icon. Literally, it’s the horned, bearded climber of rocky hills; figuratively, it’s the GOAT—Greatest of All Time—used to crown legends after clutch plays, chart-topping drops, or grandma’s undefeated cookies. It can hype someone up (“you’re the GOAT fr”) or land with a wink when used ironically after a fail (“nice spill, GOAT”). You’ll also see it for stubborn vibes, scrappy determination, or that mountain-goat energy that doesn’t quit.
On Apple/iOS, this is a full-bodied, left-facing goat in profile with a cream-gray coat, tan curved horns, a tiny goatee beard, dark hooves, and a short tail. The expression is mild and unbothered—more chill farm royalty than raging ram. Clean shading and gentle highlights give it a friendly, almost storybook look.
Culturally, it fuels the eternal GOAT debates: Messi or Ronaldo, MJ or LeBron, Serena, Beyoncé, Taylor—drop the goat and let the comments spiral. On Twitch and TikTok, “goated” = exceptionally good, often paired with a crown, fire, 100, or a trophy. It pops up for Capricorn season, for “scapegoat” jokes, and in throwbacks to the screaming-goat and fainting-goats memes. Flirty, supportive, or sarcastic—this emoji does it all, horns first.
A goat is a mammal that is closely related to a sheep and is frequently used as livestock (animals that are raised by people for the goods they produce). Goats are known for eating just about anything and are often used to clear out large areas of plants that people want to remove, such as blackberry plants. Goats are also very good jumpers and are often observed standing on top of objects (rocks, chairs, tree stumps). A Billy goat is a male goat that is still capable of reproducing (intact or not castrated). A baby goat is called a "kid." This emoji is silly, potentially foolish, stubborn and can smell bad.
