Full-Body Bear emoji

[Crissov]

There is a Bear Face emoji 🐻 already, which actually originated from a plush-toy Teddy Bear emoji, but it doesn’t work well in contrast to the Ox or Bull emoji 🐂 to signify falling 📉 and raising 📈 stock markets 💹, respectively. The [Water] Buffalo 🐃, Cow/Cattle 🐄 and Cow Face 🐮 emojis don’t offer a real improvement on that, neither would the proposed Polar Bear emoji #107. If a full-body Bear emoji was added, it should be drawn with a lowered head and the Bull with a raised head.
