The squid, an octopus-like Marine animal with ten arms, is often depicted as a pink and orange "giant squid".
In addition, the squid emoji is characterized by facing forward or leaning to the left, with a slender, arrow-like body, small eyes, and two long arms raised up at the sides of the body.
The emoji can represent squid as a kind of food.
On most mobile platforms, the squid emoji has six arms. On Microsoft, WhatsApp and Twitter the emoji face forward. The squid pattern on Samsung phones is grey.
