A single rightward arrow sits above the word SOON, the only one of the five pointing ahead rather than back. It's the tease emoji: a trailer, a product drop, a release date not locked in yet, promising something's coming without saying exactly when, closing out a caption more often than opening one.
What ๐ means
A black โก๏ธ Right Arrow with the capitalized letters - 'S', 'O', 'O' and 'N', all in the same shade, printed below this arrow. The ๐ SOON Arrow signifies finality, reaching/fulfilling the await, or even wishing for something faster than it's actual speed (life, you see).
How and when to use it
- The right arrow in ๐ indicates the direction of growth, speed, and heading towards something new/better. If you're sharing a celebratory post, an announcement, a supportive repost, or a text message suggesting any of the above, use this emoji.
- Examples for the previous point would be: "My first book is set to be out in less than a month! ๐", "Check out this giveaway ASAP! ๐", or "You'll reach here even before you know it, relax ๐".
- Speaking of ASAP, ๐ might just be the emoji replacement for the acronym. Like, "Ensure the files are ready ๐" or "I'll be waiting for an update. So, work on it ๐".
- You could also use ๐ as a way of fulfilling a goal via inducing eagerness into the captions. Here's how: "We're on our way to 50K followers. Help us get there, peeps! ๐" or even "Just short of 15K ๐".
- In all those get well soon, see you soon, and can't wait! text messages, ๐ would be a quirky addition.
