What ❇️ means

A single sparkle in a green box. It stands for something new, clean or shiny, or works as a decorative bullet.

People use ❇️ to flag new features, fresh posts or clean results. Most people want ✨ for sparkle and glamour, and ❇️ sometimes gets picked by accident in a search for that.
