What ♨️ means

A pool with three wavy lines of steam rising from it. It stands for hot springs, hot baths and anything steaming hot.

Travelers use it for onsen trips in Japan, saunas and spa days. It can also describe soup or noodles straight from the pot, or a scorching day outside.

In Japan the same symbol marks hot spring baths on maps and signs, so it reads as 'onsen here' to many people.
