The "π§·" or safety pin emoji is often used as a symbol of solidarity with marginalized communities, particularly those facing discrimination and prejudice. It first gained popularity following the Brexit vote in the UK and the 2016 US presidential election, and has since been used to show support for various social justice movements. The safety pin represents a commitment to standing up against hate and bigotry, and to being an ally to those who are vulnerable or oppressed.
