Rebirth and the comeback story. The mythical phoenix burns and rises again from its own ashes, stronger than before.
People post it after a breakup, an illness, a career setback or a hard year to say they are rising again. It suits a glow-up or a team's comeback win.
It is built from ๐ฆ and ๐ฅ, so older devices may show those two side by side.
