What 🀧 means
It usually earns a bonus rather than forming a combination. Mahjong is a Chinese tile game in which players build a winning hand from combinations of tiles. The season tiles represent spring, summer, autumn and winter; summer is one of these four.
Under rules that treat seasons as bonuses, you display this tile separately and draw another so your hand can continue. Its value depends on the rules being played, so the symbol alone does not tell you a score. Season and flower tiles are often grouped together as bonus tiles.
Not every version uses it. American mahjong groups season tiles with flowers, while Japanese riichi mahjong generally leaves season tiles out.
A specific mahjong reference. Outside game talk, add words if you want the reader to understand it as summer.
