What ๐ means
Dead, usually from laughing. It says something is so funny the sender has died, or that a moment is unbearably awkward.
Common as a reply to memes, roasts and embarrassing stories, often alone or doubled. Younger users often prefer it over ๐. It can still mean death, danger or Halloween in literal contexts.
