What ๐ฆ means
A bat with spread wings. It stands for night, Halloween, vampires and spooky, gothic moods.
It decorates October posts with ๐ and ๐ป, and night owls use it when they are up far too late. Comic fans send it as shorthand for Batman.
This is the animal. For a baseball bat, people use โพ or ๐ instead.
