The "♱" emote, also known as the East Syriac Cross emote, is a Christian symbol that represents the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is commonly used in social media and messaging platforms to express religious beliefs or to indicate sympathy or condolences. The symbol consists of a cross with three horizontal bars, where the top bar represents the sign that was placed above Jesus' head during his crucifixion, and the lower two bars represent the footrest and the crossbeam of the cross.
