What ๐ช means
A net on a long handle, the kind used to scoop fish or catch butterflies. It means catching, collecting or trapping something.
Anglers use it for a landed fish, and kids and nature fans for catching butterflies or bugs. It also fits pond dipping, crabbing trips and scooping fish in a home aquarium.
It is a recent addition, so older phones may show a blank box instead.
