What ๐บ means
Most people use ๐บ for travel: booked tickets, window seats, boarding a flight, or a long train ride. It also works for saving a spot for a friend at an event or class. A second, joking use comes from the phrase "have a seat," meaning someone should sit down because they were proven wrong or need to hear something. That use is teasing, not serious. For a general chair at home, people sometimes pick ๐ช instead.
