Raccoons are curious and intelligent animals. They are known to be clever and adaptable, even thriving in urban environments.

They are loved for their dexterity and playful nature. Their cute black mask marking is especially popular.

Raccoons appear as wise advisors in Native American folklore and, like the Japanese tanuki, hold special significance in East Asia. Their clever adaptation to urbanized environments has garnered the attention of many researchers.

As an emoji, it is often used to convey curiosity or a playful atmosphere. Because they are nocturnal, the emoji is also frequently used to represent nighttime activities or fun late-night situations.
