What ๐Ÿ‘๏ธโ€๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ means

An eye inside a speech bubble. It came from an anti-bullying campaign, where it meant "I am a witness": someone who sees bullying and speaks up.

Few people know that origin today. Most use ๐Ÿ‘๏ธโ€๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ for a mysterious or eerie feeling, "I see you," surveillance, or someone who notices everything. It fits cryptic posts and spooky aesthetics.

It joins ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ and ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ in one sequence, so a device that does not support it shows the two separately.

Facts
