What ๐ฃ means
A box of mixed symbols, such as a music note, an ampersand and a percent sign: the symbol for a symbol input mode. It stands for special characters.
People use ๐ฃ in talk about punctuation and characters, or as a stand-in for a censored swear word, in the style of comic strips that print '#$%&!'. Outside those uses it seldom appears.
