A split ball spilling confetti and streamers, based on the kusudama balls cracked open at Japanese ceremonies. It means celebration and congratulations.
People use it much like ๐, often side by side: "๐ congrats on the launch! ๐". It suits openings, grand reveals and milestones.
๐ is the popper; ๐ is the ball. They mean the same thing in practice.
