What 🗡️ means

A short blade. In chat it most often means betrayal, as in being stabbed in the back, and sometimes a mock threat.

"Et tu 🗡️" or "backstabber 🗡️" fits a friend who spoiled a show or took the last slice. Fantasy fans, gamers and tabletop players use it for rogues and weapons. Between friends the threat is a joke; strangers may not read it that way.
