What ๐Ÿ‹ means

A whale swimming in full side view. It stands for the ocean, something enormous, and calm, deep-sea majesty.

In gambling, gaming and crypto, a "whale" is a person who spends or holds huge amounts, and ๐Ÿ‹ marks those big players. Ocean conservation and whale-watching posts use it plainly.

๐Ÿณ is the playful spouting face; ๐Ÿ‹ is the calmer, more realistic whale.
