Meaning and Interpretation
♨️ Okay, so this is the hot springs or onsen emoji! It's not just for literally talking about a spa. It's your go-to for: 1) Flexing that you're on a relaxing vacation, 2) Saying you need some serious self-care and warmth, 3) Warning someone that something (like your coffee or the pavement in summer) is literally steaming hot. Think of it as the chill-but-hot cousin of the fire emoji.
