What ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ means

A dark cloud with a lightning bolt and no rain. It points to a dry storm, or to something charged and tense: anger, drama, or a sudden shock.

People add it to heated messages or to warn that a fight is coming. In fandoms and gaming it can also mark a character's lightning power.

โšก alone usually means energy or speed; ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ keeps the dark storm cloud and so feels more ominous.
