What ๐Ÿณ๏ธ means

In chats ๐Ÿณ๏ธ is mostly playful. People send it when they lose an argument, quit a hard game level, admit a friend is right, or feel beaten by work or exams. It can also be a sincere offer to stop fighting and make peace. It is lighter than saying 'I quit' in words and less dramatic than ๐Ÿ˜ญ. It is also the base of the rainbow flag ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ and transgender flag ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ, which are separate emojis with their own meaning.
