What ๐ฆ means
A duck, the familiar pond bird. People send it for ducks themselves, for rubber ducks, and for a silly, waddling mood.
University of Oregon fans use it for the Ducks. Programmers know "rubber duck debugging," explaining code aloud to a toy duck until the bug becomes clear.
Phone autocorrect often turns a common swear word into "duck," so ๐ฆ is a running joke for that word.
