What π¨πΏβπ« means
The tone is usually neutral or warm. People use it to talk about teachers, classes, exams and tutoring, or to thank a teacher. It also has a playful use: someone sends it before explaining something at length, as if saying "let me teach you" or "class is in session". In that sense it can be a light joke about lecturing. It is common on Teachers' Day posts, such as 5 September in India and World Teachers' Day on 5 October, and during Teachers' Month in the Philippines. The man version is a choice of figure, not a special signal.
