What ๐ช means
A fireball streaking down toward the ground. It points to falling space rock, impact and doom, and by extension to disaster or a dramatic arrival.
Ideal for end-of-the-world jokes ("just send the ๐ช already") and dinosaur humor with ๐ฆ. It also fits real meteor showers and space news.
A newer emoji, so older phones may show a blank box. โ๏ธ is the comet, which people used for the same jokes before this one existed.
