A single looping curl, like a ribbon or a hand-drawn squiggle. It is mostly decorative: a flourish in captions, a divider, or a symbol for twists and loops in a story. Some use it for curly hair, a handwritten feel or a winding road. It came from early Japanese phone emoji sets, and its meaning is largely up to the sender.
