What the double curly loop ➿ and curly loop ➰ emoji means
➿ is the double curly loop and ➰ the single curly loop: a line that curls back on itself once or twice. ➿ is the Japanese “freedial” toll-free telephone symbol, which is why it exists as an emoji at all; outside Japan it means a loop, going round in circles, a repeated cycle — or simply a decorative squiggle, the “loop logo” people search for. ➰ is used for a curl, a ribbon of string, or a flourish in bios. Both are original 2010 emoji. For “on repeat” the clearer choice is 🔁 on the media buttons page, and for forever ♾️ infinity.
