I wonder what came out of this discussion. All 12 symbols - or close
approximations - are present:
1F377 - mouse (= rat ?)
1F386 - cow (= ox? == water buffalo (Vietnam)??)
1F375 - tiger
1F387 - rabbit or 1F36C - cat (Vietnam)
1F392 - dragon or 1F36D - snail (Kazakhstan)
1F388 - snake
1F373 - horse
1F384 - sheep (= ram? = goat ??)
1F383 - monkey
1F389 - chicken (= rooster?)
1F36B - dog
1F38A - boar (Japan) or 1F374 - pig
Adding annotations or disunifying a few characters could be a good idea.
