What does ๐ Volcano mean?
A cone-shaped mountain erupting with lava and smoke. Besides real volcanoes and trips to places like Iceland or Hawaii, it is a favorite way to show anger that is about to boil over, or food so spicy it feels explosive. It can also mean a sudden burst of emotion, drama or energy. Friends might send it before a big confrontation, or right after biting into a chili that was far too strong.
๐ Volcano is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (landscapes & outdoors), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about eruption, mountain and nature.
