What 🝼 means
It labels the dwarf planet Makemake. The planet takes its name from Makemake, a creator god in Rapa Nui tradition.
Unicode’s 2022 design note credits the glyph to Denis Moskowitz and traces its form to a traditional Rapa Nui petroglyph—a rock-carved image—of Makemake’s face, stylized to suggest an M. It belongs to a five-symbol set for dwarf planets, alongside Haumea, Gonggong, Quaoar, and Orcus. The astrology glyphs for Eris and Sedna are related entries in the wider planetary-symbol family.
Why did someone send me 🝼?

The sequence 🝼☍♃ means Makemake is opposite Jupiter in that notation. A standalone message still identifies the planet, but the surrounding words tell you why the sender brought it up.
A specialized planetary glyph, especially at home in astrology charts as a label for Makemake.
Treat it as a planet label first; the surrounding message supplies any extra point.
