What does ๐๏ธ Desert mean?
A dry desert landscape with sand, rocks and sometimes a cactus. It is used for desert trips, road trips through arid country and extreme heat. It also has a playful figurative side: a silent group chat, an empty fridge or a long dry spell can all earn a ๐๏ธ. Add ๐ช or ๐ต to make the scene even clearer, or โ๏ธ when the point is how hot it is.
๐๏ธ Desert is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (landscapes & outdoors), added in Emoji 0.7 in 2014.
