Infinity Emoji ♾️

A sideways figure eight, the infinity emoji is the mathematical symbol for something without end. It gets used for anything meant to last forever — a promise, a bond, a playlist on repeat — and shows up in wedding vows and tattoos as often as in math homework.

What ♾️ means

A dark grey infinity symbol composing of a pair of loops or circles intersecting at the center to form a continuous loop. The ♾️ Infinity emoji signifies indefinite nature; something that's endless, constant, continuous, and ever-expanding.

How and when to use it

If you're talking about 'forever' in any context, do welcome ♾️. For example, "Forever is a lie ♾️" (the cliched post caption), "I want to be with you forever ♾️" (the cliched promise), or "Let's become ghosts and haunt all our haters forever ♾️" (now, that's love).
Similarly, ♾️ fits perfectly into the framework of 'eternity'. For instance, "You are an eternal source of knowledge and light ♾️" or "All eternity is in the moment ♾️".
You could also use ♾️ while referring to something that's ever-expanding or continuous by nature. Like, "You are my expanding universe ♾️" or "Life is a continuous learning experience ♾️".
Speaking of which, ♾️ is pretty much the aptest emoji for the 'universe'. Hence, any scenario that involves the universe in any form, shape, or size could use this emoji - "You are the universe in ecstatic motion ♾️".
More than any other emoji on the list, ♾️ ranks highest for it's spiritual and philosophical weightage. For instance, "We belong together. No matter how much you ignore the fact, we're all one spirit ♾️".
