What does ℹ️ Information mean?
A lowercase i in a box, the international symbol for information. It introduces helpful details, FAQs, tips and announcements, much like the info icon in an app or at a tourist desk. People use it to say “for your information” or to flag a quick note. It looks official and neutral rather than urgent.
ℹ️ Information is an emoji from the Symbols category (letters & word buttons), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
