What does ๐ฅ Fire mean?
A bright flame. Literally it means fire, heat, campfires and cooking, but its slang meanings are even bigger: something amazing is โfireโ, an attractive person is hot, a hot streak means you are on fire, and trending content is lit. Snapchat also uses it to mark streaks. People drop it to hype outfits, songs, food and photos, or to cheer on a savage roast.
๐ฅ Fire is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (sky & weather), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about af, burn, flame, hot, lit and litaf.
