The tone is warm and friendly. It can mean a romantic couple, but it is just as often used for best friends, siblings or two people going somewhere together. It is softer than π, which has a heart and is clearly romantic. People use it to talk about dates, outings, friendship posts and couple photos. The figures do not say anything about the sender, and the emoji can describe any pair of people. If you are unsure whether it is romantic, look for hearts or flirty words nearby.
It is not always a romantic signal. Alone, it more likely means let's go together or we are good friends, and it only reads as flirting if hearts or date talk come with it.
Between partners it means us, together, or a plan to go out as a couple. With a crush it usually just suggests doing something together, so read the rest of the chat before assuming more.
It is common in captions for couple photos, friendship posts and anniversary posts.
