What ๐ฃ๏ธ means
A side-view silhouette of a head with lines coming from the mouth. Online it means speaking up loudly: shouting a point, stressing a truth, or saying something with full chest.
People put it before a quote or hot take to say it louder, as in โ๐ฃ๏ธ PAY YOUR INTERNS.โ It also marks singing along at full volume, cheering, or announcing something to everyone. Two or three in a row turn the volume up further.
Its literal sense, someone talking, still shows up as a label for speakers, podcasts, and speaking events.
