What ๐Ÿ‘ป means

A friendly cartoon ghost: spooky fun, a playful โ€œboo,โ€ or disappearing.

Common for Halloween, haunted places and silly scares. It is also the sign for ghosting, cutting off contact without a word: โ€œthey ghosted me ๐Ÿ‘ป.โ€ It can mean someone has gone quiet in a chat.

Because the Snapchat logo is a ghost, people put ๐Ÿ‘ป before their Snapchat username in bios, as in โ€œ๐Ÿ‘ป: name.โ€

Facts

Ghost ๐Ÿ‘ป is an emoji in the smileys and emotion category, under face costume. It is one of the early emoji from Japanese phones, standardized in Unicode 6.0 (2010).
