What ๐ธ means
The tone is gentle, sweet and calm. Many people add ๐ธ to messages and captions to make them feel soft and friendly, much like adding a smile. It is also a strong symbol of spring, new beginnings and Japan, where cherry blossom viewing, called hanami, is a popular tradition. Because cherry blossoms fall quickly, it can also hint that beautiful moments do not last. It is less romantic than ๐น and less tropical than ๐บ.
