What does ๐ Ping Pong mean?
A table tennis paddle with a small white ball.

Because rallies are quick and back-and-forth, it also describes a conversation, debate or email chain that keeps bouncing between two people.
๐ Ping Pong is an emoji from the Activities category (sports equipment), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about ball, bat, game, paddle, pingpong and table.
