What 🆒 means
It marks something as cool, approved, or stylish.
The boxed cool sign can also decorate a word or sentence, like a badge. It can be a compliment, not just a detached acknowledgment.
Casual and breezy: a small “nice!” rather than a heartfelt response.
Beside serious news at work, 🆒 can sound glib.
