A tap filling a glass, the sign that marks water safe for drinking. In chat it usually means “drink some water”: hydration reminders, gym talk, hangover advice or a caring nudge to a stressed friend. Travellers and hikers use it literally to note refill points on a route. Where 💧 can stand for sweat, tears or rain, this one is specifically about water you can drink.
