What ๐ means
A full-body pig on four legs. It stands for pigs, farms and pork, and for greed or mess, as in eating like a pig.
Farm life, barbecue and pork dishes, and the pig of the Chinese zodiac in Lunar New Year messages are typical uses. Friends send it to joke about pigging out on snacks or about a room that looks like a pigsty.
"Pigs" is also an insulting slang word for police, and ๐ or ๐ท can carry that meaning in protest posts.
