What ๐Ÿฆข means

Grace and lasting love. Swans glide calmly, form long pairs, and two curved necks together make a heart shape.

Ballet fans use it for Swan Lake, and couples and wedding posts use it as a romantic symbol. The ugly duckling story makes it a sign of a glow-up, and people also joke about how aggressive real swans can be.
