πΌ
What πΌ means
A metal tower with a bright red body a solid square structure in the upper narrowing half, followed by a couple of ring-like structures and finally ending in a pinnacle with a red and white striped top.
The πΌ Tokyo Tower emoji is a representation of the second tallest construction in Japan. Replicating the Eiffel tower to a certain extent, this emoji can signify the Japanese architectural feat, tourism in Japan, and a former broadcasting mode across various platforms.
How and when to use it
- A tower refers to anything that's tall, you could use πΌ to suggest someone who's mighty tall. For instance, "Dude. The date went AMAZING. He's a frikking tower! πΌ How tall could he possibly be!".
- If someone or something was 'towering' over you, then too, you could use πΌ to narrate the incident. "I feel so tiny in this new city. EVERYTHING SEEMS SO TOWERING πΌ".
- Speaking of 'towering', πΌ can also have its own flavor in the sexting framework (no puns intended, please). This framework is easier to understand if you've read E.L.James.
- Bringing back the first point - since 'tower' describes the stature of something, you can use πΌ while posting or reposting pictures and/or videos of stacked burgers, a tower of candy, a tower of waffles, anything along these lines too.
- You can use πΌ to refer to someone or something that's dominating and/or intimidating too. For example, "She is tiny, alright. But she can be towering in her own waysπΌ".
