Emoji Meaning
A single lit firecracker leaning to the right, commonly used to evoke celebrations and festive gatherings.
This is how dynamite explosives are shown in cartoons: a red, elongated cylinder with a burning fuse at one end. The fireworks people set off for Chinese New Year can look similar — small firecrackers that go pop.
In chats it's used figuratively to offer a compliment or to show a high degree of admiration. For example, you might get this little firecracker in response to stunning photos. Its meaning is close to the bomb emoji.
