What 🉐 means

The character 得 (toku) appears in Japanese shop signs and ads to mark a special offer or a good-value item. People send 🉐 to point out a deal, a sale price or a lucky win. It also works outside shopping to say "this is worth it" or "I benefited from this". Outside Japan, many people use it simply as a red sale or deal badge.
