What ⛼ means
Physical headstones mark graves and may carry names, dates, and mourning, religious, family, or personal designs. That older practice explains the sign's subject; the character entered general text through Japan's ARIB STD-B24 character set for digital broadcasting.
Neutral as a marker; solemn in grief, macabre in fiction.
Avoid it as a casual reaction to a real death; it can sound flippant.

Questions people ask
1Why does ⛼ show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
