I wonder to what degree the answer from Kagi Assistant is influenced by Kagi search or the underlying model. I asked Claude 4.5 Sonnet about the seahorse emoji because it was my default settings. The response was:
> The seahorse emoji does not officially exist in the Unicode emoji standard.
> Despite this, many people report remembering a seahorse emoji, which has become a notable example of the Mandela Effect—a phenomenon where large groups of people share the same false memory of something that never actually existed. [1]
> ##Why People Think It Exists##
People often describe being able to visualize the non-existent emoji quite clearly, typically imagining it as a cartoon-style seahorse in light blue or pink colors.
> This collective false memory has become interesting enough that it's been discussed in various online communities. [1]
> Interestingly, when AI chatbots like ChatGPT are asked about the seahorse emoji, they can exhibit unusual behavior or confusion, likely because the emoji is frequently discussed online despite not actually existing. [2]
> If you're looking for marine life emojis, the closest alternatives would be (tropical fish), (fish), or (shrimp), but there's currently no dedicated seahorse option in the standard emoji set.
