What ๐โ๐ฉ means
The tone is fresh and playful. People add ๐โ๐ฉ to messages about tequila shots, margaritas, mojitos, tacos, Thai and Mexican food, or anything sour and zesty. In India the common green nimbu is closer to a lime than a yellow lemon, so many people use it for nimbu pani, chaat and soda. On devices that do not support it yet, it may show as a lemon followed by a green square.
In Indian chats
Many people choose ๐โ๐ฉ for nimbu pani, shikanji or a squeeze of nimbu on food, since it matches the green fruit sold in Indian markets.
