What ๐ค means
Thumb and finger held close together for "a tiny bit." ๐ค stands for a small amount, something very close, or something very small.
"I was ๐ค this close" or "just a little ๐ค tired." It also mocks how small something is, sometimes as a jab at a person's size or ego.
People mix it up with ๐ค, which has all fingers pinched together.
