What ❢ means
It makes the exclamation itself part of the design.
The fancy exclamation mark symbol works as a typographic flourish for a heading or short announcement; its shape changes the look, not the punctuation's basic force.
Dingbats are non-letter printer's glyphs used to mark or decorate text. This character comes directly from Hermann Zapf's Zapf Dingbats collection, which entered digital typography and was incorporated into the Unicode Standard in 1993.
Is ❢ a text symbol or an emoji?
It is a font-drawn text symbol, not an emoji.
❢ is not an emoji-capable character; is a separate character that can appear as emoji. Its typographic shape comes from the font.
More like a deliberate typeset flourish than everyday punctuation.

1Why does ❢ look different in my font?
It can. Fonts draw this text character differently, changing its thickness, curve, or spacing without changing its identity.
