What ๐ means
The Kaaba, the black cube-shaped building at the center of the Great Mosque in Mecca, the holiest site in Islam. It stands for Mecca, pilgrimage and Muslim faith.
Hajj and Umrah wishes carry it, as do farewells to a friend or relative leaving for pilgrimage and many Eid and Ramadan messages. It is a deeply respected symbol and almost never appears in jokes.
Muslims around the world face the direction of the Kaaba, called the qibla, when they pray.
