What the wing 🪽 (angel wings) emoji means
🪽 is the wing: a single white feathered wing. It means angel wings, flying and freedom — memorial posts (“fly high 🪽”), “earned my wings”, ascension, aviation — and it is what people copy for “wings” next to a name or a heart. Added in Emoji 15.0 (2022), so it shows as a box on older phones; before that 😇 smiling face with halo and 🕊️ dove did the job. A single feather is 🪶 feather.
