What ๐Ÿซ means

An orca, the black-and-white killer whale. It stands for raw ocean power and smart, team-based hunting.

Whale watchers use it for orca sightings and Pacific Northwest trips. Online, orcas ramming sailboats have turned into a running joke, and fans cheer on the "orca uprising" with ๐Ÿซ.

It is a newer emoji, so older devices may show a blank box instead.
