A bird completely covered in black feathers, with a yellow, orange or black beak and hindlimbs. The Black Bird emoji is often depicted as a crow or raven.
This emoji can be used interchangeably to represent the Crow and the Raven due to their identical appearances. But, despite the external similarity, these birds have a unique symbolism in different cultures.
In Hinduism, the crow is associated as a messenger between the worlds of the living and the dead ๐. The old Scottish expression "away the Crow Road" refers to the dead.
In Native American culture, the crow symbolizes omens of good luck, and in Egyptian culture, it symbolizes devotion. In Celtic mythology, the Raven symbolizes the spy and disguise ๐ฅธ, a good example being that the Norse god Odin used this form for espionage.
