Unicorn
[edit]I'm not sure how to say that something has the shape of an unicorn. Please see inflatable unicorn (Q113815829). Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 15:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am unsure as well, but I have seen depicts (P180) used for this purpose. I would say it is fair to say that an inflatable unicorn depicts/conveys/represents the unicorn (all aliases of that property). (I asked myself this for Colin the Caterpillar (Q21010043).)

- depicts (P180) works well when the item is intended to have the given shape. But a lot of items are said to be incidentally "shaped like" other items that don't belong to the class "shape". To handle those, I think, would require one of: 1) adding lots of specific items as exceptions to the constraint; 2) loosening the constraint (i.e., allowing all physical items to be values of the property); 3) creating a new property like "said to be shaped like".
