Meaning and Interpretation
🔕 Yo, this is basically the 'put a sock in it' emoji for notifications. It's telling you 'hey, this thing is on mute' or 'I need some peace and quiet right now.' Super useful when you're sick of getting pinged every 5 seconds or when you wanna tell someone 'don't blow up my phone' in a visual way. Think of it as the emoji version of flipping that switch to vibrate mode 🤫
