In 2016, a feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West's camp caused snake emojis to flood her social media, cementing ๐Ÿ as a symbol for 'fake.' She flipped the script on her 2017 album Reputation, reclaiming the snake as her own icon.

In English, ๐Ÿ is slang for someone sneaky or two-faced โ€” often dropped into gossip about betrayal. The slang meaning can be lost on those unfamiliar with it.
