What ๐Ÿง means

Cold places, cute clumsiness and a built-in tuxedo make the penguin a favorite. It reads as charming and a little awkward on land.

Some couples send it because gentoo penguins give pebbles to their mates, so a "penguin pebble" is a small token of love. Linux users use ๐Ÿง for the system's penguin mascot.
